Our target audience is 15-25, we added many different elements to try
interest and involve all people of this age range. This was difficult as we didn't
want it to look cheap and tacky. We chose to do 15+ instead of 18 as this
means more people could watch it. Many people under the age of 18 watch
horror films so this means a wider range of people could watch our OTS.
In a horror at the rating 15 there can be strong threat and horror as
long as there is no sustained focus on sadistic or sexual threat. So using this
information we figured we could still use a lot of techniques without it being an 18.

Our OTS, includes faces and moving objects. We didn't use any violence, drug use,
nudity, sexual scenes etc so a wider variety of people could watch it also due
to us using Insidious as our inspiration we had to roughly match what was used in
their opening title sequence.
This also means a greater profit when the film is released as more people
would be able to watch it. If we had chose our rating to be 18+ it means
our audience would not be as large which would mean our profits would be
a lot less.
To help us with our final decision we decided to get some help from the audience,
we got a range of different ages and genders and asked them the same questions
eg did you enjoy our opening title sequence, what age would you put it at etc
this helped us a lot as the audience without us telling them agreed with us.
