Statement of Intent

 This is the Statement of Intent for our film opening!

Genre
Horror
Target Audience
Demographic	Females and males, age 15 - 25,  located in urban areas where they can easily access the cinema and other digital devices.
Psychographic	Teenagers that enjoy horror movies with some slashing action and a mysterious but creepy kidnapper/etc.
How we will appeal to this target audience
The whole set, props and costumes were mostly monotoned using black, grey and white as one of their main colour schemes with low key lighting setting the tone for the overall movie and is something audiences are expecting. There will also be red in a form of fake blood when the killer finally strikes and kills something which is what horror movie goers would like to see. We can use diegetic sounds like a screams and non diegetic discordant sounds of which slowly becomes louder the closer the main character is to the figure which builds the suspense of the overall opening.
Main inspirations
Hush, Texas Chain Massacre 2022, Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin, The Night
