Audience: Psychographic and Demographic

Pyschographic

Psychographics divides people into catergories based on their personality, intrests, values, beliefs and personal lifestyle. It is based on the assumption that the types of products and brands that an individual purchases will reflect on that persons characteritics and their patterns of living.

Main Brief

For our Main Brief, we have decided on a psychographic of Mainstreamer's as they are more likely to follow the crowd and watch whatever genre is the most popular at the time. With horror being a very successful and popular genre at the moment, we believe that this will entice the Mainstreamers. We also decided on the demographic classes of B, C, D and E as they can afford to go to the cinema, but cannot afford to do anything too expensive or extravagant in their leisure time.
