AS evaluation Question 4 - Who would be the audience for your media product?

Typical horror movie viewer

The usual age of viewers watching horror movies is around 15-25. Horror certifications are usually 18 but many young people watch them on DVD or through video subscription sites like Netflix. This age group has a high disposable income with which to watch movies and enjoys being scared, often in the company of other young people. Horror movies can provide these young audiences with thrills and excitement which they seek when watching them.Younger audiences are more accustomed to gore and violence and won't be put off by the type of content that older spectators might find distasteful.
Stereotypically, boys are seen as thrill-seekers and are more likely to be a typical horror movie viewers as they enjoy violence and blood and guts.

Horror films are mainly viewed by groups of friends or couples. This is because horrors are made to scare people so therefore they need to feel comfortable around the people they are watching it and enjoy the shared emotion of being scared.

This is James Smith. James is 16 years old and lives in Medway. James likes to dress relatively casually, wearing jeans and a hoodie most days. He enjoys playing video games in general, playing football and just hanging out with friends. James likes buying new clothes and shoes from shops like JD, Nike and Topman.
James likes to watch action movies such as Mad Max, The Raid as well as horror movies which include Friday The 13th and Grave Encounters. He also like watching TV series with his family like Breaking Bad, Daredevil and The Walking Dead which he watches on Netflix.
The music James likes to listen to is bands like Catfish And The Bottlemen, Arctic Monkeys and Drake.
I think our film would appeal to James as he is a typical teenage boy who enjoys thrills and gory films and TV shows. He likes being with his friends and enjoys the tense atmosphere of a dark movie theatre during a horror film when everyone around him is jumping in their seats.
