The target audience for the author's two-minute thriller/suspense film is males and females ages 15-30 years old, with a certificate rating of 15. However, the film would likely appeal most to 15-25 year olds who are interested in the chosen genre. This age range has more free time, including school and university holidays, to go to the cinema. A rating of 15 is suitable as the genre appeals more to younger generations and the film contains moderate violence but nothing extremely gory.
