My group and I believe that our film is aimed at females due to the main character being a female her self and not sticking to the usual stereotypical ideas of most horror/thriller films. This in itself will intrigue the female audience as it’s a fresh idea which has not been done many times before. Although the actress will be the main focus of the film males will still enjoy the film with its mysterious storyline and twists keeping their attention throughout. The age we feel it has been directed at is the young adults, demographic from 15-25. This is due to the fact we feel it would be certificate 15 and with its realistic storyline this age group will be aware and relatable to this storyline, scenes, soundtrack, and locations. Anyone who seeks to find a good mystery and enjoys the element of an unexpected surprise will find this plot enjoyable.
In addition to this the idea of our film not being directed to an award winning director or script writer means that realistically there will not as many viewer to see the film than their would with a film such as Avator. Also, the lack of well known actors add to the down fall of views ultimately as well as their not being a high budget. Usually low budget films are not looked highly upon and therefore will not bring in viewers as some people may feel that if not a lot of money is put into a film then it might not be good enough to have a lot of money spent on it and therefore not good enough to pay to watch. Therefore the people who might be more inclined to watch the film may be those who are avid film buffs who are willing to watch films out of their usual preference.

We looked at www.imdb.com to look at our main influences and see the trend in user ratings. Creep was one of them because of the gory storyline and the style of the opening sequence. Below is a chart which shows the ratings for various age ranges and gender:
The descent is also shown, below, by ratings and from this we are given an insight into our influences audience and can relate it to our own film.
For both films we can see that under 18 for men and women is the most popular age group and our own film is targeted to 18-30 year olds which fits perfectly. Therefore certificate 15 is very appropriate as these ages are interested but because of the theme being a thriller it wouldn't appeal to any younger audiences.
