Our target audience for the action/thriller film is 16-30 year old males based on a survey. Most respondents who preferred action films and were between those ages were heterosexual and Caucasian. The main character, Michael Thomas, aged 17, wears dark, ordinary teenager clothes to show he is making wrong decisions. The second character, Alex Wilson, wears white and jeans to appear innocent. We attracted our target audience through the survey and by having a main character of similar age, sex, and interests to relate to them. The film incorporates the theme of suicide due to academic pressure, which can relate to many young people experiencing stress.
