Target audience

A target audience is a specific group of people that a product or marketing message of a product is aimed at, target audiences can also be a group of people who all have a similar factor for example their age, gender, interests and ethnicity.

Age Restrictions

For many films there are age restrictions because of adult themes, drug use and other inappropriate topics such as murder. Our film would have to be rated 15 as its based on a murderer, there are violent themes and there are scenes that viewers under the age of 15 could find disturbing.

After looking at surveys i read that 70% of people who watch psychological thrillers are aged between 15-30 years. psychological thrillers appeal to both male and female audiences and a variety of social classes conventionally through the use of relatable characters and realistic themes.

Although our film is a psychological thriller there are many sub genres like horror and drama, people who enjoy those genres might also be interested in our film.

As our film isn’t directed at a particular group of people our main target audience is males and females aged 18-50 with no specific location.
