After considering the two classifications of 12 and 15 films that suit the fantasy genre, I decided to go ahead with a 15 classified film and so I should consider the elements and conventions that suit a 15 film. Therefore my target audience will be young adults and teenagers (15-25) because it relates to childhood folktales but has a horror twist to it.
I like that you are going to focus on the fantasy/horror genre. Intertextuality will also work well and this will help highlight your inspiration from other film openings. Your target audience is accurate but maybe think about bringing the age down to around 13 depending on how gory your horror theme will be. It should be successful because of your skills with technology and it will be appealing because it will be very different to everyone elses.
ReplyDeleteI like how you are using the idea of the Brothers Grimm in your work, but then adapting it to make it more appealing for an older audience. This is a very unique idea and you have chosen the correct target audience, but I think that it may be quite difficult to attract an older audience as you are using younger stories, but apart from that the idea sounds great.
ReplyDeleteI like the influence of the Brothers Grimm, also your target audience seems accurate with the description, as younger children may not enjoy the Horror genre.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the horror genre with the fairytale/fantasy genre mixed in. I like the idea of using The Brothers Grimm as influence as it's unique and original therefore targeting the audience you are trying to. The audience is realistic but I think it would be hard to attract the older audience because of the fairytale/fantasy side to the stories but if you do it right I think you'll be able to achieve your idea.
ReplyDeletei like the idea of Hansel and grettle Grimm style but with your take on it. sounds very original and intriguing. you've used intertextuality well in your ideas and i think it will be aimed at an audience aged 15 - 25 and has great potential to be successful.
ReplyDeleteThe fairytale twist is appealing to all ages and both genders as it's different to films that have been made before. Challenges the films that are out for the age range at the moment, (15-25), this is because fairytales wouldn't immediately appeal to the age. But if you make it obvious there's a twist from the tsart it should be popular.
ReplyDeleteI think you have chosen a good genre that will stand out from others. The target audience you have chosen is suitable witht the genre of the film. I think the fact that you are going to use intertextuality will make your work more successful. Overall I think this is a very good idea that will potentially be really successful when complete.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of using a classic and putting your own twist on it, it will appeal to wide variety of people.
