Target Audience and Genre Research

Our film will be aimed at the ages of 15 and above. This rating has been given so we can still attract the older audience but it also widens the range of people in which we can target.

A 15 rating is applicable because our film doesn’t show literal murders or violence; it only hints at it. Also, no scenes of a sexual nature are included. Minor bad language may be needed, and with the theme of a thriller, the 15 rating allows us to explore our genre well, whilst bringing a larger audience than if it was just an 18. Also, the teenage market is where a large amount of profit is made, as the teens constantly want something to do and normally want to see the next latest film, or own the next latest thing. This then brings many customers and therefore, a large amount of profit.

Research has shown that 15 rating films bring the largest market share of all age ratings.  For the past 6 years, there have been more 15 movies made than any other genre, so there is a lot of money to be made in this genre. As out weapons and violence are only suggestive, it fits in with our 15 rating. In 1982, the 15 age rating was introduced; four years of it being released 15’s had already become the most popular produced and watched genre of film. Ever since 1986, it has remained the most popular, that’s 22 years of success, and so by putting our film as a 15, we could make more money, become more recognized and enjoy more success.

The Pitch

For out AS media coursework we had to design an opening sequence for a horror genre style film. As our idea came together, we finally agreed. We wanted to do something similar to ‘The Dark Knight’ in one of The Joker’s scenes. Our killer would video tape his hostages himself to police in order to get money/attention or he would murder them. Also the idea from ‘Seven’ with the seven deadly sins, which links to why we called the film ‘Lucky7?’ At the beginning, Jack, our main actor, will use a hand held camera to show that he is using and videoing it himself, as well as using a tripod as we intend to show the murderer teasing the hostage. We want to use a dark loft in order to get a creepy, out of the way effect, so that no-one could hear him scream. The mise-en-scene we intend to use, clothing will be simple but covered up, no props are used other than the natural setting out of the loft. At the end of the opening sequence the audience should understand that the murderer will kill the hostage through his dialogue, having this at the end just before the films begins will get the audience drawn in and wanting to watch more. For the rest of the film there will be another 6 murders, each ruling out the deadly sins, done in different ways, each maybe getting filmed in first person. Also showing the police’s constant search for the killer, finding out where he has been each time, breaking in but discovering the body of which he murdered. Towards the end of the film we think because it is certificate 15, that the murderer does not get caught, therefore it leaves the film open for a sequel.
