Similar to all horror films, my film is targeted towards the
age of 16-24 year olds, since this is the most popular age group who watch
horror films. With this in mind, I chose to use a full teenage cast, in order
to relate to the audience itself, since the cast age group ranged from 17-19.
This enabled us to seemingly act normally, in order to be understood by the
audience themselves.
There is no real specification between a female or male
audience within this film, since aspects of it will appeal to both sexes. Since
there is a male, stalking a female, in some senses, the male audience may enjoy
this, as the camera in some senses will take a male gaze; especially when
killing Jess, and attempting to kill Kelly. Although this is the case, there
will be no use of nudity or suchlike, since these features often dismiss the
female audience. In order to attract females, the idea that Kelly is fighting
back against a male, will empower women, and therefore could be more popular
for the female audience.
Since targeting a similar age group to the characters
involved within the film, I feel that it is best to have a target audience of
both male and female teenagers, aged 16 – 24, since they are most likely to
relate with the character’s, and would therefore feel the most fear within the
character’s situations.
