WHY WE CHOSE WHAT WE CHOSE.

Our product will appeal to people because of the target

audience and the genre of the film. Our target audience is 15 and

above, our sub-genre thriller is a psychological thriller, in the vein

of source code. It is going to appeal to our target audience

because it’s a thriller that gets you thinking, but isn’t a young

audience thriller, we have decided to choose a psychological

thriller because of the recent success of films like black swan and

inception which also make you think about it, and they require

maturity which is why we chose 15 and above.
