Nine Frame Analysis

How will my film appeal to my demographic audience?

The film i am creating will appeal to my demographic audience as most of the content is relatable to them. In order for a horror film to be successful, it has to have a believable and realistic plot, unless of course it is based on fantasy. Teenagers watch horror movies for entertainment and so as well as sticking to the conventions of horror, the film has to include some form of entertainment value. Also, by using actors/actresses in the film that are a similar age to the demographic i have will enhance how relatable the film will be. The title sequence of the film has to be captivating and entice the viewer whilst not giving away too much of the plot. By introducing the horror in the first few minutes (the title sequence) there is more of a chance of the audience being interested in the film.

Age Rating Of Film & Why?

                                                         

I have chosen to age rate my film as a 15. I think that my creating a 15 rated film I can still include most elements of horror following the guidelines from BBFC. Arguably, I think that the people who use the cinema the majority of the time are teenagers/young adults. A 15 rated film ensures that the audience I am targeting can view the film in cinemas and therefore ensuring that a maximised profit is obtained from my demographic audience. In addition, the most likely generation that will actually watch horror films are the teenage generation. Although adults do watch them the younger audience more frequently view them. By creating a film with a 15 rating I am able to target my film to a much wider audience whilst remaining in the demographic I have chosen.
