Demographic information classifies audiences by age, gender, race and other attributes and breaks them into bands based on jobs or status, as shown in a sample demographic table. While thriller movies could appeal to wide audiences, psychological thrillers may not appeal to those with lower education levels who are unemployed and would not understand the psychological aspects. Psychographics divides the market into groups based on social class, lifestyle, and personality, and the products or brands purchased reflect those characteristics and patterns of living. Thrillers can appeal to varied psychographic groups more so than other genres like rom-coms that target more specific psychographics.

4. How Thrillers use Demographics
 Thriller Movies could be aimed at any off
the letter codes. This is because it has
such a wide audience. However some
Thrillers do not appeal to all audiences
such as a psychological thriller may not
appeal to the E code as they could be
less educated if they are unemployed so
would not see the appeal in a
psychological thriller.

5. Psychographics
 Psychographic segmentation divides the
market into groups based on social
class, lifestyle and personality
characteristics. It is based on the
assumption that the types of products
and brands an individual purchases will
reflect that persons characteristics and
patterns of living.
