The document discusses the target audience for a thriller film project. It aims the film at young male adults because they relate more to films where the hero is usually a man. While the film targets young adults, it is also aimed at regular film lovers and those looking for a thriller for one night. The film researches other similar thrillers targeted at ages 15+ and 18+ and includes scenes of a villain killing a child that are not explicitly shown.

1. Who would be the audience for your media
product?

2. Target audience?
 We researched 3 thriller films that are similar to our film, we found out that
most thriller films were targeted towards people who wear aged 18+ and 15+.
 We chose our film to be an 18+ because young adults living around us were
very interested in watching thriller films aged 15+ and 18+.
 However, these films that we researched had explicit and violent themes and
we tried to link it to our film with the villain antagonist using a knife to kill a
child, furthermore we didn’t show her killing the child but instead showed her
going up the attic and then put some non-diegetic sound of screams, which is
assumed as she killed the child.
 We are targeting young male adults because they relate more and this
creates an Enigma code because males viewers relate to the film because
the hero is usually a man and they start feeling they were the hero.

3. Why are Thriller Films popular?
 There is a hero and a villain
 Usually has many jumpy scenes
 It makes the audience concentrate and relate to the film
 There is always a thrill without anyone ‘seeing it coming’
 There is always a cliff hanger to make the audience feel
concentrated and builds the tension making the audience
feel scared
 Crime related plots aren't usually used because they don’t
really thrill the audience, but are usually murders and
conspiracy plots.

4. However…
Although our film was aimed at young adult; that does not
rule out that older people can’t watch it because we
also aim it at audience who could be considered as
regular film lovers and other people who just like to
watch a thriller as one off like for a night.
