Magazine Research

We found two magazines that would be have our film on its cover, These are SCREAM magazine and SFX magazine. SFX magazine is more of a sci-fi horror magazine. SCREAM magazine is based more on horror films specifically. We have decided to have these two ideas because we feel that having empire would be unrealistic because it would be very unlikely for a low budgeted British horror film to be on the front cover of a massive magazine company. Empire Magazine

We have decided to use Empire magazine

Audience Profiling and Rating

The Strangers
The first film we looked at was The Strangers and this was rated as a 15.



The Orphan
Another film that we looked at in the same genre as ours and The Strangers is The Orphan and this was also rated 15.

Both the films we have looked at have most of the audience that are between 15 and 24, this shows us that horror films that are similar to our idea is the most popular in this age group so we therefore have decided to aim it at this age group.


The two films are different however when it comes to the gender of the people that go to watch the film. The Omen has 52% of a male audience and 48% female, whereas The strangers has a 40% male audience and 60% female audience.


We have decided to have our film as the following:

60% - Female

40% - Male

We have the age range as mostly 15-24

4-6 - 0%

7-11 - 0%

12-14 - 0%

15-24 - 80%

25-34 - 5%

35-44 - 5%

45+ - 10%

We have set the rating as 15
