No film is for everyone, so it is important to know and find out who your target audience may be; this is because you want your film to succeed and by aiming it at people who are not interested is not the way to do it.
Here is the trailer from Fright Night.
It is very common for the vampire to be male and any age above 18 and in this film they have done exact that and have not challenged any stereotypes. By using a male as the villain makes a more tense/intimidating feeling when it comes to the biting of his victims because males are known to be much stronger and faster than women. However his victims are both females and males all ages, which is also common in vampire films such as 'Let Me In' and 'Twilight'.
The main characters in this film are Teenagers, so it would make sense the film would be aimed at teenagers because they relate by their age and teenagers are interested in other teenagers lives. This film could be aimed at both genders because of the film being a thriller.
Their class is all the same, they live in a nice neighbourhood and from what is shown their parents are working class.
When in the classroom you can see a variety of races, however the main characters in the film are all white, so the target audience for this film may be teenagers, males and females from the white population.
For the film i am creating, our target audience when researching was males aged 18-29. If i was to say who i feel would be our target audience, it would be both genders aged 18 and above, this is because the main characters in our film, both victim and villain are female and because of the amount of gore that will be shown in the rest of our film this is what would draw the males to come see our film.
