3. Who would be the audience for your media product by Niall

3. We feel the target audience for our media project are men between the age of 15 and 25, we have found that men seem to enjoy the thrill and tension of horror movies more than women and men who are in there late teenage years and early twenties seem to find it more exciting than the older age group. We have done some internet research to find out this information and we have also asked men and women of different age groups for there opinion on horror films.

We feel that the age group between 15 and 25 tend to like horror movies more than any other age group because they enjoy the thrill of it and they would like to know if the movies is scary enough to frighten them, the thrill of horror films increases both heart rate and adrenaline which men enjoy the feeling of adrenaline pumping through there body more than women.

We are going to use this information we have gathered and use it in our horror film, we have decided to use lots of tense music to build the tension up so the audiences heart rate and adrenaline will both increase as men who are in there late teenage years and early twenties like this feeling of excitement rushing through there body. We shall also use lots of close ups and lots of sharp sounds in our film, as this will also increase the excitement of the audience who are watching our film.



Someone from our target audience age group on IMDB who is 18 years old who watched Paranormal Activity 2 said, "There's two or three scenes out the movie that will make you jump briefly, because they catch you off guard." This is what we are trying to achieve with our film as we feel that the age group between 15 and 25 enjoy being scared.


Here is a shot where the audience may be caught off guard as the door slams behind the victim without anyone closing it, hopefully our target audience age group will find it scary and hopefully catch them off guard.
