Target Audience

We've been doing some audience research and we feel that the thriller itself should be targeted at 15. A 15 is mostly what thriller films are aimed at and because it has some gory scenes and the nature of the film is mature enough for an audience of 15+.

Having interviewed our class about our favourite films, it was apparent that a film with the genre of a thriller/horror was the most watched with popular films such as 'the silence of the lambs' 'saw' 'the grudge' and many more.

All of these films were rated 15+ so this helped us give us a genral idea of what age we should be targetting our audience. We did consider targeting a much older audience but we thought that this would limit our audience as the majority of cinema watchers are ages 13 - 24.

Our group are currently giving out surveys to a variety of people of different ages/genders and we are currently awaiting for there response.
