Evaluation 4

                                                Our audience


Our target audience is ages 15-24. This is because after completing primary research such as an online 

questionnaire and focus group we found that this age range was the most common occurring. This age range 

were the group who answered the survey the most and who said that they liked. We also looked on the BBFC


to see what age ranges suited what films and looked at similar horrors to see what age rating they have and 

audience type.




Genders


Crime genres are usually aimed at men due to the crime, use of guns, knifes and blood.


However our horror is less gory and more just mystery based of using clues to find bits our therefore ours is for


both genders as there is far more women going into this type of career also.




Age range


Official statics have shown that people of the ages 15 years to 24 years are most likely to go to the cinema to


see crimes in comparison to only roughly 20% over 40 year olds.




Here are some typical types of people who would like this kind of genre...



Jenna, shes age 17 and loves going to the cinema. When she goes to the cinema she would usually see either 

horror or crime based films. She loves psychological books and likes the film Se7en. She said one of her 

favourites is inception which she really enjoyed, with thrillers she thinks they make you worried for the main 

victim but also excited as there is always clues to pick up on throughout the film. Other teenagers of the same 

age as her would most likely have mutual feelings, especially liking the fast tension and build up.



Ellie is a 23 year old lady who has a strong interest in crimes. Both documentaries, films and TV series too, 

which encourages her to go to the cinema as soon as a new crime film is introduced out. She spends a lot of 

time out with friends watching this genre of films. A lot of her time is spent with her friendship group which 

usually consists of a group of boys... giving her even more reason to like thrillers!



Both of these girls would be an example of someone from our target audience as they are interested in the 

aspects of crime we tried to involve, for example Jenna likes psychological films and books. Ellie also likes 

crimes, both of these girls would fit our audience perfectly.
