BOO!

Hello media friends! So me and my partner decided to dive deeper into our research on horror background sounds and target audience. We chose to look at prosperous horror films and the age range they chose to target and found an interesting target audience-secondary research website that gives an explanation as to why horror movies typically targets the age range of 15-25. The website discusses gender, age, class, etc. Beginning with horror film The Cabin In The Woods which targets young couples ages 16-25, A Nightmare on Elm Street & Texas Chainsaw Massare which goes for the same age range as well. Going back to the Paranormal Activity Series, this is some research I found on their age range and why.


The most common reason for this is that young adults and teenagers enjoy thrills and they tend to excited a younger audience versus an older one. Horror films are generally aimed at middle class because the can acquire a good thrill at a reasonably lower cost meanwhile the upper class are less likely because they can acquire this sensation if they need to do in other ways. These type of films are also generally aimed at more males than females because stereotypically males enjoy the violence more than females. SOO, we decided that we are going for 15-25 middle class, both male & females.
Now that we established that, we are gonna begin research on typical creepy background sounds that popular horror films incorporate and get some extra ideas what we could use. Stay posted :)

xoxo,
Coral
