film because The Conjuring has elements of mystery and a backstory to it,
which they may feel intrigued to figure out before it is revealed to them. I
think that the psychographics of strugglers would like this film because of
the struggles the family faces within the film and also because of the
representation of the old/abandoned looking house which the family move
into. This film is also based in the 1970s and the characters within the film
follow old traditional values, such as when the parents christen the house
the first night they move in. This element of the film would appeal to
Resigned because they tend to be interested in the past and tradition.
This film would also appeal to mainstreamers as this film would be new
and would be what everyone wants to be watching, which also ties into
the uses and gratifications of Social Interaction for this film. Further uses
and gratifications of this film would be Entertainment because of the
frightening scenes within the film for the audience to feel scared, and
Escapism because people may want to watch this film to escape from
their everyday lives and experience something different (e.g. the
experience of being terrified).
