Target Audience

Target audience for our film: After researching the target audiences of four thriller films we realised that the rating depended on the amount of action and horror elements within the film. For example We looked at the films ‘The Butterfly Effect’ and ‘Gone’ these were psychological thrillers and both of there film rating are 15. They contain no violence as the films are based around the psychological side of thriller films. The other two films were researched ‘Panic Button’ and ‘Taken’ were horror thriller and action thriller films. The level of violence was higher within these films to fit in with the genre and this is the reason that there rating were 18.

For our film we decided to use the 15 age rating because we plan to base of film around the psychological thriller side of the genre. Because there is less violence visible in the psychological thriller film trailers we researched we plan to use the same low level of violence in our trailer.   

Along with a 15 age rating certificate for our film the target audience for our film is going to be 16-26. 

After researching further and creating our film narrative we have decided that the film trailer we are creating is going to simply be a thriller film. We removed the psychological sub genre from our trailer because the narrative we created would notify into the genre and we thought that our narrative would be interesting in a film and we wanted to show this is our trailer.
