Target audience research

Our documentary is based on the beliefs and opinions people have on mediums and clairvoyants today. Most people concentrate on the negative connotations of psychics as there is no true concrete information which shows us that their intuition is valid. Therefore, we decided to show controversial views and opinions throughout our documentary by interviewing both a psychic and a spiritualist from a nearby church. This will then involve religion and how this can affect people’s views on the spiritual world.
Also, horoscopes are popular with young females as they are easily accessable due to publications in magazines and on the internet. The screen shot below is taken from magazines which includes horoscopes in each issue both printed and online. It also shows the internet versions.





Most people may choose to ignore these but some people read them even if they don’t believe that what is said will define their near future as it has to appeal to a very wide range of people and it is impossible to relate to each individual on such a large scale, therefore the predictions are usually vague so that the reader can interpret and adapt it to relate to their own lives if they wish to believe.

There are also a number of different tests available on the internet which encourage you to test your own psychic ability. Therefore, a number of people must be curious as to how you find out about this talent and whether it is accurate enough to make a career out of it.




Believe it or not

People express a "surprising degree" of credence in psychic and supernatural phenomena, according to a random, nationwide telephone poll of 1,236 U.S. adults conducted last June. Although these beliefs often conflict with traditional religious views, they emerge among deeply religious folk almost as often as among the nonreligious, report George H. Gallup Jr. and Frank Newport of the Gallup Organization in Princeton, N.J.

The poll results, published in the winter 1991 SKEPTICAL INQUIRER, include the following: One in four people believe in ghosts, one in six cite communications with someone deceased, one in four say they have communicated "telepathically" with another person, one in 10 claim to have seen or been in the presence of a ghost, one in seven say they have seen a UFO, one in four believe in astrology and about half believe in extrasensory perception.
