4. Who would be the audience for your media product?
As a group we decided to make our primary target audience appeals to both genders males and females aged between 16-25years old because our film characters a quite young which make our film a teen horror/thriller and also we have an advantage due to our age range are the most like age to attend the cinemas on a regular basis and Of all ethnicities, but mainly British audiences as it is more familiar to them due to the language barrier. Our initial thought was that our target audience would be males because usually horror movies seem to attract the male audience more than females, hence females would also watch it because they could relate to the characters in our film. Our target audience would have previously seen movies such as Friday the 13th this is similar to our movie because of the representation of the characters age, and also may have viewed movies such as paranormal activity and orphan as the fall into the same genre as Deadly sins, our target audience would most probably had interest or seen the movie this is due to all the movies belonging to the horror theme. Our
Our target audience would have seen films such as Final Destination because all of the people there get killed , and similar to our film there are scary clues to predict what will happen but although they do not give too much of the film away. The target audience would have also seen films such as I Know What You Did Last Summer because that is a horror film and people get killed in it. They would have also watched films such as Halloween because a lot of people get killed and there are no reasons for the deaths but they just happen.
Another film that our target audience would have watched is Prom Night because it is a teen horror and similar to our film people get killed.
Another comparrison of a film that our chosen target audience would watch would me “the texas chainsaw massacre” this is because they share similar plot keywords i.e. blood splater, serial killer which appears a various amounts of times in “the texas chainsaw massacre” and also in our film “deadly sins” and also due to our film “deadly sins” being similar to “the texas chainsaw massacre” this benefits us due to seeing the success and progress of the films where they brought out many remakes.
