Toby Taylor

The target audience for our thriller ins in the age range of 15-30. We chose this age range because from our research on other thrillers, this age group is the one that primarily goes to the cinema to watch a thriller. The viewing cannot be any younger due to the violent psychopathic nature ok our killer, but it also won’t be enjoyable for older viewers either.

The Sweeney

WAZ

Outlaw

These three films are all from the thriller genre. We can determine the viewer age range they attract due to IMDB statistics.

The secondary target audience of our thrillers will be the 30-40 group. This is because the film can still be enjoyed and viewed by this age group as they are not too old to be uninterested. As our thriller is about a young psychopath, that’s why the older audience may find it harder to relate to someone of that age group.

As our thriller is set in a high school, with a young psychopathic killer shooting the kids, we believe that the audience should consist of the closest age range that are able to relate. Our secondary audience may also be able to relate, but not as well as they are now much older from when they are in school. The over 40 age group would not enjoy or be able to relate well at all, so the film is not aimed at them.
