We decided that the target audience would be male and female aged 15-25. This is partly because of the genre and plot of the film. We believe that the film would appeal to both males and females because there is a good variety of different characters in the film i.e. the main character is male but his victims are all females. However the target audience can depend on the way in which we film the opening sequence. If we decide to do it with a more religious aspect, it may appeal to an older audience of both male and female. Although, our initial idea was to focus more on the killing of the victims rather than the religious reasons why. We have used the 10 Commandments purely as a link between the murders rather than as a focus point of the film. This will possibly rule out older audiences as it has a slightly niche storyline but gives it a horror aspect that people under 25 will enjoy.
In terms of developing the plot, we are considering altering the ways in which the victims are killed. Initially we planned that a mentally deranged man kills ten people who do not follow the 10 Commandments, however we came to the conclusion that this contradicts the man's agenda as one of the 10 Commandments is "Thou shall not kill". We now believe that it will make more sense for the man to psychologically force the victims into suicide. We will develop this idea more so that we will have a clear idea by the time we compose the opening sequence.
