We chose this location because we tried to avoid the ‘modern’ look as much as possible and lean to a more traditional and
classic theme. We did this because we thought that this theme would be the best match for the ‘mental institute’ in the storyline.
This hostel stood out to us because of the amount of space provided and the furniture and decoration along with the nature
surrounding the hostel that could come to our advantage.

Target audience

18-28 – Targeting an older audience since the storyline includes
violence and the psychological side to the story requires a more
mature mind-set and will capture the attention of this age group
(not older) mostly due to crime and violence.

Targeting an audience of males as stereotypically they are most
attracted to a storyline involving violence and crime.
