Detailed research into potential audience

Our film is a very unique niche film. This is because it has many factors that arn't used in typical films. For example our film is a short film and is planned to be around five minutes. Most people dont even know that a five minute video is classed as a film and wouldnt go out of their way to watch them. The majority of people watch length films that are high budgeted and largely advertised.

Our film is certificated 15. We have chosen this certificate because of the mild themes our film is going to include. These themes can have negative psychological affects on people under the guided age as they desensitise children to these mild themes. I feel our film will appeal to older teenagers and young adults aged between 16 and 30. This is because people  around this age are more likely to watch films and are especially more likely to watch shorter films on things such as YouTube and social media. This age range is also more likely to be more interested in the psychological thriller genre however we are likely to attract elder viewers because of the noir style that was also used in many older films.

Our film may appeal to people who are interested in psychology, for example someone who works in counselling or other psychology related jobs, or people that are just interested in the genre. Our film may especially appeal to them because it shows psychology from the point of view of the experiencer rather than the psychologist so people may watch to get a differant viewpoint.

Our film will not focus on a particular region or ethnicity, it will be open to all nationalities. This is because psychology can affect people everywhere and the thriller genre is world wide watched. Although our film is more likely to be watched in english speaking countries because the film  will not be filmed in any other languages.

The film we are going to produce will not appeal to a certain gender. This is because both males and females can be interested in the same genre of film. Also both genders can be massively affected by psychological illnesses and aspects of life and jobs in psychology are not gender specific so there willl be just as much interest from both genders as an audience.
