I have chosen a Horror theme for the opening of my film.

My target audience is
15-18 year olds. The gender of people that normally watch these type of films are
boys
as they prefer scary movies whereas girls like chick flicks. They would want to
watch a scary film as it is escapism out of their everyday lives and not the norm.
Horror films usually have a lot of suspense and tension, they also have guts and
gore.
I am going to create a questionnaire to ask people of our age to see what films
they prefer to watch and what horror films they have seen.
We have chosen to target our films at late teens as they enjoy the thrill of
horror/thriller movies.
