audience analysis

In the audience analysis i am going to be talking about the target audience things like age range gender, why it will appeal to them, then i will move onto how i would advertise this film if i was to do so. The age rang i will be aiming this film at would be the 16- 25 age range, i have chosen to aim it at this because i fit into category and a thriller is a film I'm interested in and most of my Friends are in this age range and i haven't found one of my Friends that don't enjoy a thriller. i think the older age wouldn't enjoy this film as much, then the opposite end off the scale at the younger children they wouldn't enjoy it as it may be to scary with all the masks and things like that Etc. The gender i have choose to aim my film at is the male audience. i have choose the males as my target audience as, i believe they would by moire interested in the film rather than the opposing sex, i believe stereotypically when i say this that most girls with an exception of a few prefer romcoms and things in the area rather than a thriller. I think it would appeal to this audience because i think that males in the age range of 16-25 would enjoy the suspense and mystery in the opening, with the added twist of still being quite high tempo atmosphere. There is a large variety of ways these days to advertise things not just films, through the act of convergence, but i would choose to advertise this film n social networking sites, such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter. this would be my main source of advertising, because the Age range i would aim my film at spend a lot of time on these social networking sites so would make sense to use this to my advantage, things like magazines wouldn't be a great idea as younger people would rather watch TV, where i could advertise my film during breaks in programmes.
