The document discusses the target audience for a new thriller film. The primary target audience is 15-30 year olds, as research shows this age group attends cinema to watch thrillers. Statistics from similar films The Sweeney, WAZ, and Outlaw indicate they attract this demographic. A secondary target is the 30-40 age group, who can still enjoy the film despite being older. The thriller involves a young psychopath killer in a high school setting, so younger and older audiences may not relate as well.

1. Toby Taylor

2.  The target audience for our thriller ins in the
age range of 15-30. We chose this age range
because from our research on other thrillers,
this age group is the one that primarily goes
to the cinema to watch a thriller. The viewing
cannot be any younger due to the violent
psychopathic nature ok our killer, but it also
won’t be enjoyable for older viewers either.

3.  The Sweeney
 WAZ
 Outlaw
 These three films are all from the thriller
genre. We can determine the viewer age
range they attract due to IMDB statistics.

4.  Name: Jim Root
 Age: 17
 Job: Student
 Likes: Guitar playing, Metal music, Rock
music, Video Games, Weekends
 Dislikes: School, exams, Pop music

6.  The secondary target audience of our thrillers
will be the 30-40 group. This is because the
film can still be enjoyed and viewed by this
age group as they are not too old to be
uninterested. As our thriller is about a young
psychopath, that’s why the older audience
may find it harder to relate to someone of
that age group.

7.  As our thriller is set in a high school, with a
young psychopathic killer shooting the kids,
we believe that the audience should consist
of the closest age range that are able to
relate. Our secondary audience may also be
able to relate, but not as well as they are now
much older from when they are in school. The
over 40 age group would not enjoy or be able
to relate well at all, so the film is not aimed at
them.
