Question 4: Who would be the audience
for your media product?
After
creating our thriller film opening I believe our target audiences for the film will
be 18 to 25 years old. However because of the nature of the film if it were to
be distributed, then some people may argue it should receive a certificate of
18. Doing some background research about thriller films in general I have found
that no matter what thriller sub genre the film has it seems that they are
mostly watched by teenagers. However from further research I have found that a
few years back thrillers films would have appealed for an older generation
ranging from 30 to 50 years old. Film which would have come under this category
is the ''Psycho'' series of films.
The film we
developed was a psychological thriller so because it could consist of some ''strong'' footage throughout the entire
film, it would be aimed at 18 year old's
plus. I looked at IMDB list of the 50 top Psychological thrillers and I found
that the majority were given a certificate of 18.
1. Straw Dogs (1971)
2.
Irreversible (2002)
3.
The Shining
4. Unthinkable
(Some films
from the list)
Based on our films unique selling
point I think around 18 to 25 years old would be the perfect age to view our
film. I say this because our films consist of a serial killer who targets
teenagers and young adults and because of this I think this age group will be
able to relate to the films quite deeply.
Instead of
creating a Facebook profile of someone who our film would target, I decided to
take a print screen of my face profile because I fit the target audience of the
film.
