The audience for our media product would be for young adults aged 17-21 as we think it is the appropriate aged people who would understand the movie with all the clues and wouldn't be too young to be scared of it and not too old to keep thinking how predictable it is. We made as a group several pie charts from our questionnaire to see what the percentage is of people for example who like horror films. We think that both genders would appeal to the movie but mainly girls as its about their life at the beginning and why they both get killed. Meaning it focuses on their lifestyle and what they do to get them killed, which is why our opening sequence is called 'Lethal Media' as its very focused on the different matters to do around world for example Facebook or Twitter. Another reason it draws females to watching it more than men because we have used two stereotypical and vulnerable females to represent our opening characters to create that sense of fear. Therefore we have used a stereotypical villain that is dark and mysterious and is shown mainly to be an unknown killer. We believe it relates to all genders though as it links to internet sites that many teenagers use nowadays and we believe adding that in has helped the audience to relate as they know all about what do to on Facebook or Twitter etc. We believe the main demographics that would appeal to our horror opening sequence from the 'JICNAR Scale' would be skilled working class as its right in the middle meaning nearly everyone can come and watch it. We found this particular information out from our pie charts we used from our questionnaires and our Voxpops we created.
We noticed that many teens like horror movies but they have a specific way of watching them to know that it is a horror movie meaning most people prefer the film to start peaceful than frightening as they want to know about the story line at first before all the frightening images happen. Additionally we got more information from different people by using Voxpops. This was helpful as we could get specific and individual ideas from different people and see what they like and why they like it that specific way. Evidently, we believe the type of people who would watch these films would be trendy and fashionable people as they know about Facebook and different websites and relate to it in real life. But also you hear many stories on the news about missing teenagers from talking to unknown people online, so we as a group are trying to send that message across to young adults to not speak to people you don't know otherwise you never know what's going to happen and you could be expecting the worse.
