TARGET AUDIENCE

My target audience and demographic I have chosen to appeal to is 18 -28 year olds both male and female, because I feel that there are many ways of advertising to appeal to the needs of this target audience. The choice of costumes have chosen to use for my characters will help them relate to much younger audience, because the characters in the trailer sill be wearing trainers and hoodies. Trainers and hoodies have become the stereotypical clothing of young adults, which I hope will help to appeal to my target audience.

The reason why my trailer may appeal more to the male gender is because of the content at the first part of my trailer there will be a young male playing an Xbox, even though my film is targeted at both genders I do feel that it relate more to young males because when it comes to horror films they will see it as a coming of age because they where not allowed to see them before.

The reason why my film is aimed at the ages between 18-28 is because the majority of these audiences are active viewers so they will be able to understand that this is just a movie and also their will be more gory and horrific scenes in it, the reason why I targeted an active audience is because they re the age group who have the most influence and are active on social media, they will be able to speak on their views and raise awareness of the movie.

My movie will be mainstream and aimed at all ethnicities, the sexuality of the viewer does not matter in this case, this film is aimed at the younger audience because they have spare cash and also time on their hands to go and view the film, and also aimed at people who are interested in extra-terrestrial activities.

Pixar’s 22 rules of storytelling

• You admire a character for trying more than their success.

I think that this will be on of the rules that I will stick by while writing my script to create my trailer. I feel this will help me to create my storyline to add more content to the trailer without revealing the end result. my trailer will consist of showing how my character deals with life and his relationships with the people closest to him and around him.

• What is your character good at, comfortable with? Throw the polar opposite at them. Challenge them. How do they deal?

I feel that this is another rule that I will be using when creating my storyline for my trailer. I will make sure to emphasise the kindness of my main character that I have another character that id the complete opposite of them and I will also be showing what my character is good at, the certain situations that they are comfortable with.

• Come up with your ending before you figure out your middle. Seriously. Endings are hard, get yours working up front.

This is the last rule I feel that I need to stick by. I have already created the ending of my film to make it easier to write the script. this has made it easy for me to come up with the rest of my film.
