Thriller Audience

The audeince of a film is perhaps the most important aspect to undertake when making a film. To create a successful thriller, i need to study my audience and research the qualities which will make a successful opening.
Through doing research, i need to ask who i will be aiming my opening at, and whether it will be for a popular dominant thriller audience or a niche product, targeting a select few e.g an age group.

The target audience for most psychological thrillers are 16-25years. This is because they include a lot of action and violence, making it abit disturbing for young children to watch. This is also because the main characters in thrillers are usually teenagers - Young aduults. This allows the viewers to relate to the main characters.
The gender isnt as specific as age as main characters in thrillers differ all the time. For our film, the gender we are targeting would be mostly males as being males ourself, we create a pathway into connecting with the male audience, introducing key factors which allow the male audience to relate.


A questionnaire was made to target the correct audience and see what thrillers they would like to see and prefer to watch.
