My Target Audience

As my film is a horror I had to think very carefully about what audience I wanted to target. I decided to target males between the ages of 18-40 as I think they would be the most likely to enjoy the film. Males of this ages group tend to like gore and horror in general as it is their perspective of what makes a good film. I also thought that teens would want to view the film. However, when reviewing the idea of targeting teens I realised that I would not be able to use the necessary violence of which my film is based on and therefore could not target this audience. I thought that if I was to target teens as well then I would have a larger audience, but this would reduce the quality of the film and in my opinion it wouldn't be as good as it should be.
