Target Audience

Our film we are producing will be rated a 15 so obviously the target audience will be people over the aged of 15 years. We feel that the Thriller we are producing will appeal to most of people from teenagers to older people. This is because people enjoy an exciting, gripping film to watch which takes them to another place where they have to work out clues and solve the mystery of the narrative. It then reaches a tense climax where the audience don't know what is going to happen which creates the "thrill' in the movie.

Our film would contain violent scenes and images of the victims as our thriller is about a murderer seeking revenge. This therefore means that our film is not suitable for children as it could influence them to play with knifes and become a danger to themselves. It is likely to contain some bad language to make it seem more realistic, which means that our target audience must be over the age of 15. We believe that our film is suitable for ages over 15 as many ages enjoy a good thriller, although students would be the main target. This is because our victims our from a family of which are young adults. As well as the main character being an adult in their 40's.   

An example of the teenager target audience is Emily, who spends 5 days a week at college, completing coursework and homework throughout the week nights. This becomes stressful and the only free time is has is on weekends. To relieve the stress of the school work she will go to the cinema with her friends and watch our Thriller movie. This will take her to another life for the two hours of the film where she will be in an unusual situation where she becomes the characters and wants to help them. This helps to detach her from her normal life and experience emotions that she wouldn't normally experience.
