The genre for our film opening was horror with the element of gore and a sub genre of psychological thriller. Therefore, i think our film as a whole has a very American/ Hollywood story line, even though it will be considered British film due to BFI'S criteria. This may make it appealing to a global audience due to the American feel that it has.In view of this, we decided that our audience would be British with hopes that it would spread globally to America.
We decided that we would like our film to appeal to both gender as we thought that both males and females would enjoy this type of film. However, we did discuss what type of females would like this film, in particular females who like horror films. We appealed to both male and females by using a female protagonist. This attracts females as they are more likely put themselves in the shoes of the main character creating sympathy for them, we also attracted the males by using a younger girl. We conformed to a few stereotypes to ensure that males would like this film, an example of this would be that we put the main character in a black short lace dress thus showing her 'provocative' side and giving her the 'sex appeal'.
Although the age range for our film will be 18+ due to the mount of gore we have in the opening sequence , it is unlikely that anyone over the age of 40/50 will be in the demographic to watch this film, as this age range is not usually interested in this genre of film. I feel as though our intended audience might not be our actually audience as some generations who our outside of our demographic may be very interested in this particular genre of horror and therefore might watch it. Also, we might have intended for our audience to be British, but considering the story line itself has an american feel to, then Americans may want to watch it. Overall i think our film has the potential to have global audiences
