2. Intro
As a keen consumer of Thriller films myself I feel
that the target audience through this film is
established both through the BBFC ratings and
the advertising of the film. These characteristics
ultimately control who can watch the film as well
as who will watch the film.

3. Audience Research
As my treatment for the film itself is quite deep
and contacts lots of audience emotions, it will
also have moments of fear, thrill and death. I
would probably advise the target audience of
this film to be from 15-55, with possible changes
being made if the BBFC felt the age limit could
be lowered. On the right hand side is a picture
of a visual chart which describes the
occupation of the viewers who could potentially
watch the film and that we could aim the film
itself at.

4. Audience Grading
I would class myself as a B or Possibly an A social
grade and so I have certain views and expectations
that would bring this side out of myself and into my
films these include things such as locations,
vocabulary used and the general structure to the
movie itself. As a thriller film, I would say that the
genre does generally appeal to many people however
I would try and incorporate as many classes as
possible. However, I have a certain understanding
that the more upper class demographic may prefer a
more low tempo film. Realistically I would say our film
would be aiming at B through to E social class with a
few exceptions of grade A, purely because the film
has to be in some places more gritty than I would of
liked. Whereas, the start can be very much clean and
professional, and in many ways the opening sequence
itself touches on many of the social grades
throughout.

5. Types Of Audience
I have no reason to believe that the man or
woman on the right hand side would not enjoy
my following opening title sequence. I don't feel
however that the general story line provides an
insight to their lifestyles, however the start of the
opening sequence does include a hard working
man who works in a similar environment to the
man pictured to the right and so I feel that their
are elements of class to both opening sequence
and film.
It is however not just the status of the audience,
but their age and so my opening sequence aims
to encapsulate both the man and women
pictured on the right hand side using several
ideology’s, paradigms etc.

6. Types Of Audience Continued
I do however think that the 15-30 bracket
as pictured to the right is best to appeal
to. Many of the younger generation in
particular are very much represented in
thriller films with the main protagonist and
antagonist being of a reasonably young
age and represented as current and 'cool'.
Thriller films are greatly popular amongst
this age range and I'm sure many young
aspiring media or film workers would be
very interested in my production and enjoy
what they saw. However I cannot help but
think that lower class 15-30 year olds
would enjoy this opening sequence. As a
stereotype of the young generation is
violence, with video games and movies
very much having a strong part in the
modern day image.

7. Conclusion
I feel that although the film starts off as perhaps slow
paced, the plot which follows is truly exhilarating and
by no means smooth and clean. Therefore I feel that
the age range from all classes will find something in
both the opening title sequence and the following
feature film itself that they will like and empathise
with.
As both the director and a thriller film enthusiast, I
understand just how hard it is as well as crucial to
attract all types of audience, to generate more
capital for the film, creating a good buzz all round.
