who would be the audience for your media product?
When making our OTS we decided to aim it at a target audience of 15-20 year olds. From our research we found out that horror films are usually rated at a 15 they will be more commonly watched among younger people . We aimed our film at our target audience by using younger actors who the audience would be able to relate to.
We have aimed our OTS at people between the ages 15-25 due to the obvious reasons that some of the scenes will not be appropriate for anyone younger than 15. We looked on the BBFC website to see what was acceptable to use in our horror OTS
Threat:There may be strong threat and horror. A sustained focus on sadistic or sexual threat is unlikely to be acceptable.
Violence:Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic violence is also unlikely to be acceptable. There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence but the depiction of sexual violence must be discreet and justified by context.
