Audience Profile

Audience Profile

(Age & Gender )

"Audience profile" is a term used to describe the characteristics of those who read, view, or listen to a given medium, such as a television channel or a magazine. I am going to cover the following; age, gender, race and sexuality for audience profiles linking to our storyline.


Age:

The age range that we are targeting our audience to be is within the 15 to 35 age range. The age range is set because we believe our storyline would be unsuitable for younger children as it contains scenes that may be inappropriate for children under the age of 15. The chart below shows statistics of the percentage of people in different age groups that go and watch movies at the cinema and clearly shows that the age range we have chosen is most and we feel that it would be suitable to shoot a film of this age group and attract the most audience.

Gender:

Gender conventions within the horror genre; we generally see gender as being very stereotypically presented which can mean women being presented through media as 'objects' mainly sexually and emotionally orientated. Women are usually presented to be beautiful and much more emotional compared to men who are stereotypically seen as being much more tough and less emotional. Women can also be represented as part of a group or a family, they tend to work and think of part of a team, the take the role of a helper they are generally never a leader.

Gender Audience:
We are looking to attract both genders for our film as the horror genre is suitable for both and our storyline isn't biased towards one group. The actors taking part in our film are all male lead characters but may have both genders as a background in certain scenes shot outside with public around.
