Evaluation Part Four

Who would be the audience for your media project?

Horror/thriller films tend to have a big following from teenagers & young adults, around the ages of 15-22. Males seem to be more interested in these films than females do, but many girls are also big fans of such films. However, these type of films are also very popular with 25-30 year olds as they're a good way of reflecting their childhood as watching scary films is quite a popular activity amongst young people. Younger children and teenagers don't tend to like these films as they're less likely to realise that the film is not real and get very, very scared! Also, a lot of scenes in scary films are seen as not suitable for children under the age of 15. People around the ages we have chosen for our target audience also enjoy the adrenaline buzz that scary films give them and not many other age groups would enjoy this.
