Audience and story board

Audiences and storyboard
My target audience for my film trailer will be 16 to 25 year olds who enjoy watching horror movies with a twist. This age group tend to have more of an open mind and have a lot of ‘what ifs’ allowing them to venture into the film with an inquisitive mind. It can also take them back to their childhood fears, perhaps of shadows, not liking the landing light to be turned off whilst they were in bed or not wanting their bedroom door shut.

Here is a moodboard to show what kind of things my target audience is in to.

Horror films have been around since silent movies in 1910. So this shows that being scared is something the audience really likes and really wants! Although in the silent movies the audience were scared about seeing a train moving in a film as they thought the train would actually come straight out of the screen! Horror films became quite popular in the 1970s with films like the Omen and Nightmare on Elm Street but during the 1980s and early1990s there was a bit of a lull until in 1977 the film ‘Scream’ came out to scare everyone.
