AS Media Studies: Foundation Portfolio Evaluation Question
Question 3: Who would be the audience for your media product?
These statistics are from the IMDB research and user ratings, these show the average spread of voters from the audience from a typical horror from our genre (ghost/supernatural) ‘the ring’.
Votes Average
58,689 7.2
11,810 7.3
619 7.4
270 7.4
34,575 7.2
7,757 7.3
19,695 7.2
3,047 7.3
3,281 7.0
591 6.8
As you can see by the statistics shown our key audience was MALES: aged 18-29 these also rated this, the highest as well as having the most voters. This group is associated with these horror films due to marketing strategies put in place to attract the young adult audience, they like suspense and the mystery of whether this is an actual phenomenon or some explainable occurrence, we have applied this to our storyline to hopefully keep with the conventions this audience has fallen in love with.

I must say that I consider myself to be a lover of horror, but much too often, sex and gore is subsituted for real horror and you don't get that feeling of genuine fear in the pit of your stomach. Not so with "The Ring". Never have I seen a film that has affected me so. The images seem to tug at your subconscious, at the dark things we keep inside.
