Audio tracks used

Ive used three audio tracks through this opening, the rest of the audio will be the actual diegetic sounds. Firstly there's a suspense track playing when the camera tracks over Hannah. It is royalty free downloaded from youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBdwOI2ZP1s&feature=related .

The second i created on the iMac in school using Garage band which is again royalty free, this will be played through the rioting scene.GarageBand ’11

The third was created by me recording his voice via a mic to play over the chase scene.

Questionnaires

I have learned from my ten questionnaire answers that i should possibly change the character of Hannah although she is turned to a mutant so fast that there isn't much room to introduce her to the audience more.
Also that horror-comedy is a popular genre so it was a good idea, and that there is no major changes for me to do.

Audience

For my target audience, I will need to choose a group of people that would like horror-comedy’s and are over the age of 15.
Generally males prefer the horror gender and people aged 16-24 also prefer horrors.
This makes men aged 16-24 my target audience but I wouldn’t want to single them out because there are women who would watch this. Unfortunately I think the film would appeal to men more, because of the action/zombie aspect of the film.
However I wouldn’t promote the film towards men because to generate the most money a film would need to appeal to all.
So my target audience is young adults, both genders though it is likely that more men will come.
I would advertise it a lot on TV or in the cinemas because that’s where my target audience would see it.

Certificate

U-Universal, there is nothing unsuitable for children. Films under this category should not upset children over 4.
PG-Parental guidance, but certain scenes may be unsuitable for children under 8.

12-Ages 12 and over, films under this category are considered to be unsuitable for very young people. Films in this category may include infrequent drugs, infrequent use of strong language, brief nudity, discreet sexual activity, and moderate violence.

15-Ages 15 and over, films under this category can contain adult themes, hard drugs, strong words, moderate-strong violence/sex references, and mild non-detailed sex activity.
18-Ages 18 and over,  films under this category do not have limitation on the bad language that is used. Hard drugs are generally allowed, and strong violence/sex references along with strong sexual activity is also allowed.

Because my film has mutants in, there would naturally be a lot of 'strong words', also there's a lot of action and horror scenes, it would not be suitable for children. But there's no drugs or sex scenes/references so i think the film would have a certificate of 15.
Recently most horrors are 15 so i think it is appropriate.
