Planning: Audience In final film opening 

After analyzing our main idea and plan of the film opening, I researched what rating it would associate with the best. 

 

According to https://www.filmratings.com, rated R movies are movies that present sensitive material like bloody images, sexual content, and other adult material, meaning anyone under the age of 17 needs to be accompanied by a guardian. Rated PG-13 means that some content might be inappropriate for pre-teens. 

 

 

 

 

I decided that the targeted audience would be around the ages of 14-18, high school age average. That leaves the movie at a pg-13 rating. 

 

I decided on this target audience because after asking my peers in class what type of movies they like, a majority responded with genres corresponding to this rating. 

 

To make the film opening appealing to the audience I decided that it would be best to add a sense of suspense to get the audience hooked, since suspense makes the audience stay for more, especially when it relates to murder. 

 

We also wanted to appeal to a female audience, with representation. since killers are usually male, we decided to make ours female, although the audience might not connect with the killer it still give the opportunity for women to get leading roles in a movie especially with these type of films. 

 

Researching movie ratings

 

 

I will expand further upon the audience by conducting a survey to ask other people what type of movies they enjoy and enjoy to potentially change the rating and demographic.
