Our media project challenged some of the codes and conventions that run through a lot of horror films. Even though we tried to stray away from the attitude in horror films of the victim always wanting to check what the noise was in ghost films we couldn’t find an alternative to make it seem realistic. But in our piece we tried to show as little of the threat as possible and create the majority of the tension with just using noises and close-ups. The noise was a constant beat at the start to make the audience wonder what it is which will eventually build up to a bang at the end I believe that this was a good way to make the tension build. I believe also that the close ups at the start added to the tension as well this however did go along with the conventions of the horror film as a lot of horror films tend to use close-ups so the audience doesn’t know what’s happening as much.
Our audience for our piece hopefully would be broader than a lot of other genres of horror films. Since ghost isn’t gory or completely full of action it can appeal to both genres and many ages. But our audience which would have the most in it would probably be males aged 14-25 this is due to stereotypically males enjoy horror movies more than girls and that age range will be the most likely to enjoy a ghost movie. The reason that we think our piece would appeal to a larger audience is due to the main character also being female which a female audience would be able to relate to more and the male audience enjoying the horror aspect more. The age of our audience could be higher because that people usually enjoy horror movies over the age of 25 but ghost movies are more appreciated by the younger generation we believe. But under the age of 14 generally will get too scared by horror movies thus we wouldn’t expect many viewings off that also due to our age rating they would not be allowed to watch it but people still do. 14 year old is still under the age rating but they are still likely watch it.
