The audience for this project would stereotypically be teenagers from the age of 15+ who enjoy thriller based films. Stereotypically it is said that teenage girls enjoy productions like this more than boys, the picture of girls represent a sleepover, i expect our production has the perfect genre to become excited and on edge curled up with friends. At this age teenagers appear to be intrigued in unusual storylines and such genres due to the adrenaline they enjoy. The genre is conveyed through the eerie music and voice overs as well as filming in specific ways. The different angles allowed us to create that mysterious atmosphere which the specific audience are expecting. At this age teenagers are also open to different understandings therefore our production would appeal to the many teenagers who are intrigued in learning about different things such as biblical aspects or even mental health issues, seen as the girl in our sequence is hearing voices. Our production is evidently quirky due to its thriller based nature and requires a lot of analysing so therefore those who enjoy soft drama and love stories wouldn't appreciate it as much.
Our project would be given a 15 certificate in that it contains aspects that may be hard to understand by some viewers. For example: the voices the girl hears and her religious background. However, our project does not contain any extremities such as violence or horror aspects. The only dramatic features it includes is the psychological voice overs and the expressions given off by the girl. This is probably one of the main reasons why we have chose to give our project the certificate 15 as these may be features that anyone younger could not comprehend nor understand.
Seen as our product has a focus upon religion and potential mental health, it could essential be used to raise awareness about these focal points within schools and/or colleges. For example, our sequence could be shown in general r.e lessons and used as a discussion point for different lifestyles, ie- religious lifestyles and also people who suffer from mental health. This would be greatly benifical as for mental health issues still remain a slightly taboo subject and by intergreating them within a teenagers thriller film could urge more people to accept and break the taboo surrounding mental health. And so therefore overall, other members of the audience could be pupils. In addition this means our sequence would be used as an education feature aswell as an entertainment one.
