Main Task- Target Audience

Gender- Our film is aimed towards a male target audience. Although there will be a female in the cast her primary role is to fulfill the male gaze theory, the rest of the cast is male. The horror genre tends to be a male dominated genre, partcularly the slasher sub-genre. The music in our film will be mainly drum and bass and heavy rock, again, clearly male orientated music genres.
Age-


The age group that we have aimed our film at is 15-34, the `youth` band. This is because slasher movies usually appeal to this demoraphic due to their graphic nature and the use of fast cut editing. You would hardly expect to see a group of pensioners going to the cinema to watch `Scream`. Another factor contributing to the target audience is the level of violence shown in the film. We have made a fairly violent plot and this would clealy be unsuitable for children and young teens. We decided that if the BBFC wer to classify our film they would give it a `15` rating, mainly due to the violence and gore.
