Who would be the audience for your media product?

My opening sequence was a horror movie scene therefore as a group we decided that the rating for our production is 15. So it is legally permitted for anyone under 15 to watch no-one younger than 15 may see a ‘15’ film in a cinema. No-one younger than 15 may rent or buy a ‘15’ rated video work (Shown on www.bbfc.co.uk) So our film was aimed at people aged over 15, widely aimed at teenagers therefore this is why we made a decisions to have our film at rating 15, because most of the characters were the same age, and other teenagers can relate to the movie well likewise done in other movies where the age rating was in relation to the characters in the movie. Also the scenes in our film were not suitable for people aged under than 15, as the music was spooky, there’s some violent looking blood scenes there was also the atmosphere for kids to view wasn't suitable in our terms. Our film was aimed for people who liked thriving horror movies, and frightening scenes and not for people who preferred comedy,rom-com's or thrillers. Even though in some people's views our film could be looked at as a mix of horror and thriller.
Our film wasn't aimed at a particular gender, however we felt the most dominant gender in most horror movies that we have seen, was men who had more dominancy over the women. So we challenged this convention and used a lot of women in our scene. However this didn't mean that it was aimed at women, it is aimed widely at both genders like every other horror film.
Our film wasn't aimed at a particular class or social grade. Anyone who wanted to watch the film and who could purchase it cans imply watch it but we didn't aim the film at any class or social grade.
Furthermore my film wasn't aimed at a particular ethnicity group. However in our scene we have predominantly used characters of an Asian background but we didn't purposely pick an Asian background, it was just the actors we used, so hopefully this wouldn't affect the type of ethnicity that would view our film. And we have made the production for all ethnicities.
