When creating our opening sequence we need to think about our audience as we need to think about the age rating of our opening sequence. The media industry spends millions making sure they are giving the audience what they want by doing lots of audience research.
For the our production we will need to know-
•
Who our audience is
•
Age/interests/views/opinions
•
What other types of media they consume
•
How they consume it
•
Where do they get it from
•
Who they identify themselves with
•
How much they consume
•
Who they consume it with
•
The effect it has on them and the effect they have on it
After doing some research, the target audience seems to be around the age of 15-25. An answer on Ask suggest this idea -

"The target audience of a horror movie is usually teenagers who are mostly curious and daring. This is because most horror films involve unknowing naive teenagers as the main protagonists."
This fits with what we thought it would be in our original production pitch
I also did poll and Facebook and Blogger- asking -What age of audience is the most likely to go see a psychological thriller/horror? - 10-14, 15-20, 21-29, 30+?
80% of people asked responded with 15-20 years old, which was what I expected. From this I think we should be targeting our opening sequence at people aged 15 and above.
