Audience Research And Profiling




Generally, horror films target audiences aged between 16-24 and are more than likely predominantly favoured by men as they can be more immersed by each character than women do as they will react in a different way, which is by being scared, which could link with the female characters that are generally in peril like in most horror films.  The audience is usually males aged between 16-24 because men can interact with the characters whereas the women do not usually enjoy gore as it makes them feel "squeamish". This conforms to the stereotype that men are stronger than women. 

Our film's genre is horror and it is based in a woodland area-meaning that our film will follow other films with the same characteristics, such as are "Cabin in the Woods","Nightmare on Elm Street" and "The Hills Have Eyes 2", as they are all horrors set in one particular location instead of various locations like "Saw". This allows the audience to get a more in depth concept of what the characters are really feeling. 

Most people interested in watching these films would be couples and people that can enjoy and understand the sinister characteristics-which is why the target audience are aged between 16-24.
