The Target Audience Our Production Is Aimed At Are For Our Film We Are
Aiming It At A 15-25 Age Range, As Our Film Will Be Rated A 15 Certificate
We Would Be Aiming It Towards This Segment. Our Film Will Interest More
Males Than Females, As The Opening Scene Is A Torture Scene, Which Would
Captivate A Male Rather Than A Female Audience. It Would Not Really Appeal
To A Race Because they Are Both Of The Same Ethnicity So There Is No
Interracial Torturing.
