Brief

I will be uploading my short horror film onto YouTube because it is a

mainstream site that is used by 2.1 Billion people world-wide, this
means my production will be accessible to anyone with access to
internet. I will cator my production to the target audience of 18+.
Although this site has many benefits it also
comes with a lot of competition. Anyone is
able to create a YouTube channel and post
content. My short film will be a horror
and YouTube has many horror short
films that are available to viewers. I will
use this to my advantage by looking at the statistics of what my target
audience of 18+ enjoy in those horror films and what attracts them.

My production idea is a non-fiction horror

based on a young girl who gets trapped in the
woods while taking her neighbour’s dog in the
woods. In the production I will foreshadow
what is to come by having dark figures
following the young girl from the first scene,
by hinting that the girl is targeted from the
start will build tension and grasp the viewers’
attention straight away.

My target audience is 18+, the reasoning behind chosing this

age range as my target audience is because this is the audience
horror films traditionally attract and are suitable to because of
the content that are usually included in the films.
Legal issues that are tied to horror films is that is someone underage
watches the movie and is deeply affected by it the producer may face
some consequences for allowing it to be accessible for the underage
person to watch. Another legal issue that could be involved in horror
movies is that it is possible a narrative could be similar to a horror
film that has already been created and this means the creator may be
copyrighted.
Some ethical issues that
are involved with the
production of horror
films is that there
might be a topic that
is controversial in the
narrative. Making horror movies that are very close to reality can
become an ethical issue because it can lead to the audience having
unwanted thoughts and increase levels of anxiety or panic.
