4) Who would be the audience for your media product?

Our target audience are anyone above the age of 18,  I decided this because my research enlightened me that the younger ages would enjoy the suspense and disturbance of a psychological horror and also because jack the ripper is a popular film, a copycat one will intrigue my audience. Anyone below the age of 18 is not advised to watch it as the murder scenes are bad influences on these ages. My target audience must be interested in jack the ripper and his mysterious killings of females so they can understand the story line.

The BFFC Classification we were hoping to achieve is 18 because our film does contains blood, violence and portrays women as sex objects and scenes of sexual violence which wouldn't be suitable for ages under 18 to watch as it may be very disturbing for the child to watch. It could also influence a child as the could copy the behavior showed in the film. Many horror films are also seen to be rated at 18 because of the sexual scenes, sexual violence and the wrong portrayals of women which my film presents so I decided from ages 18 and above is the most appropriate age.

A 15 rated film published by the BFFC means that the contents of the film could consist of intense horrors, strong violence, drug taking and sexual nudity etc. An 18 rated film also published by the BFFC means that the contents consists of hard drug use, supernatural horror, explicit sex and sexual violence which my film comes under so I
believe a 18 rated film is the best for my film opening.

No gender is particularly for my opening film it is available for both males and females. However men will be seen to like it more as they are seen as powerful and dominant in my media product.

Silence of the lambs is a psychological horror which is also rated 18 this most likely because of the strong violence.
