Scream
I am looking at a film called scream which was made in 1996 and directed by Wes craven. The creator/writer and screenplay was created by Kevin Williamson and the producer was bob Weinstein. The production company were well known names such as dimension films as well. The film was made in the America and they shot all around America such as Santa Rosa and California. Some of the reason why this film was such a great hit was because there were well known characters in the movie therefore if there were any fans out there they would want to see the film. On opening weekend they made $6,354,586 just in USA. This was good from the budget they had which was $15,000,000 but worldwide they made a huge profit and the gross was $161,600,000. It is the first type of movie of its kind where it’s a slasher but also psychological as well and it also keeps going back to its self in representation in the other screams. Also what this film does which is clever is that it looks at horror movies and discuss how horror movies are portrayed which is ironic because they are in a horror film.

This analysis will inform me of my own production because it gives me an idea of what to include and what makes a good horror film. Such as if there are intense scenes, how to act them out and bring the true horror to the movie. I feel just like this film it would be for an older genre of people who are say between 16- 21 with more horror and intense in it with teen characters. The reason for this is because if it were for a younger audience then you couldn’t have the movie too scary and if the audience were older then they might not adapt to the characters and feel bonded to them because they are younger. I feel that to make a good horror movie with the right audience you need to have the characters in the movie around the same age as the audience so that the audience can connect with the characters. Just like this film the students are in collage/ university and the audience for this film is around that era.
Also I feel that another way that they meet their target audience and genre which I could put into consideration is that they look back on other horror films of their age genre such as when they talk about Friday the 13th or a nightmare on elm street, both of these movies are in a way based around the same sort of thing as well which is a slasher movie. Furthermore another clever way that the film targets there audience is that they use comical things in the background which might only appeal to an older audience such as music in the background or TV on about someone dying which would be ironic because they were about to die.
