Audience profiling

This is the audience profile for a similar film to ours aimed at the same international audience and age range that we would be aiming at.  When this film, the Exorcism of Emily Rose, was released it's interesting to see who it was popular with.  The main age group that went to see this film is aged between 15-24. This is good to know because it will help us choose what age rating to class our film as. We are also able to see from this picture that it appeals to a wide audience, this is because 15-16 year old's are able to go to the pub for dates so they choose the cinema instead and they find horror films that appeal to both genders so they both enjoy it. This will help us with our film as we will get an idea of what we need to include to attracted both genders.

A 15 rated film means only people 15 and over are able to watch the film nobody under the age should be watching it. In a 15 rated film you are allowed to show drugs being taken but you must not promote or encourage the use of drug misuse. this means it should not so how easily they got hold of the drugs and highly dangerous substances. Dangerous behaviour is accepted just as long as it is in context, it should not show in great detail people being hung, suicide and self harming. Weapons are allowed to be shown but as i said earlier depends on the context, setting and realism. Strong language is allowed to be used and very strong language is as well but it depends on the manner it is being used in. Horror films are allowed to use nudity as long as it is not shown in great detail, but they do not usually include it as it puts the audience off the film when they are watching it. They are allowed to include strong threat and horror, this is always included in all the horror films i have watched as it creates a sense of tension. Horror films are allowed to use strong violence but should not have extended injures that are sustained, they are also not allowed to include strong gory images.
