Our Target Audience

We our aiming our film at 15 – 24 year olds, we are choosing this age range as they have a lot of disposable income and because this genre is particularly popular with the age range. We also found that people with disposable incomes are more likely to spend money on things like the cinema and the film when It actually comes out.

We also chose this age range as when we were researching into other Horror films the biggest audience was 15 – 24 year old.

CastGemma Hart – from the film ‘Hollow,’ ‘Hollow the Vengeance’ and ‘Hollow 3,’ Written and directed by Harris skilfulfilm, this disturbing, nail biting horror was a spectacular hit with the age range we have suggested.Mark Stone – from the film ‘Extraordinary,’ Written by Dean Excellentmovie, this disturbing sequel to ‘The Ordinary’ illustrates gruesome and sickening violence, this proves to be a hit with males from the age 15 – 30.Thomas Jackson – from the film ‘For Show Only,’ Written by Jake Greatpictures, this unsettling, toe curling, cold blooded murder was a big hit with our age range.
