Task 27 (audience profile)

Who is my target audience?

Task 1:
Which genres were the most popular with UK audiences and my own audience research?
Animation, Action and Comedy were the most popular genres

Which genre would I like to work in?
The Horror genre

Which audiences prefer this genre - age,gender, class and geographical location?
16-34
Male and female
Working class or DE social groups
UK

What else do I know about this group of people and what do they want to see in a film?
Feelings of suspense
An amaze factor in a villain (Freddy Kruger,Frankenstein etc.)
The terror factor for example suspense, jump scenes, scene induced panic etc.
The conventional good versus evil theme


What might I have in my film that will attract or appeal to them?
Some form of suspense which makes the audience hold their breath
The terror factor so a jump scene or panic moment

16-24 year old teenagers and young adults
Male and female
Any ethnicity
UK(England)
Apprentices or students

Who could my wider audience be? How do I know this?
25-34 year old working adults
I know this from checking the BFI statistical yearbook and it says that in the 25-34 year old age category World War z was quite a popular film having an above average audience in this age range and World War z is a apocalyptic horror film.

Task 2:
The conjuring




Results for this film were very much unexpected as i did not expect the 40 - 54 ages range to be common amongst the audience of this film. However i did foresee the profile member to have a funny personality regardless of age and that they would be quite modern in terms of using social media and where they shopped regularly.
