Tester Questions

These are the tester questions that we did for a draft and asked two students in our class. We are going to be filming and asking other people out of our class who does not do media.

Audience research

This is our Target audience research. Our target audience is aged 15-24. This helped us alot in what our audiences prefer watching and type of genre they like. There was an equal amount of people who said horror and something else. We made a conclusion from this and decided to make a horror film. Before this interview we told our audience about our story and got really good feed back from them. They said that they liked our idea about the flashbacks, they said that this is really effective. They also said that our idea is quite mysterious and that, it makes it more reason for them to come and watch our film.

Audience-Target

Our target audience is 15-24 year olds. Our film is a low budget horror/thriller film. We chose the genre horror/thriller because its a very popular genre and most people go to watch horror/thriller. We chose this age group as our target audience because the kind of opening sequence we are making, we think will suit that particular age group and they will be willing more to watch it. Some examples of low budget horror/thriller films:

Halloween (1978)

 


 Friday the 13th (1980)

  

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

We need to be able to get our audiences attention and be able to make our opening sequence as interesting and eye catching as possible so that the audience would like to watch it and try and appeal it to them as much as we can because thats what audiences want from us.
