My target audience is people who watch thrillers between the age's of 16-55. Although there is no specific type of people who watch thrillers. The main people who watch it are middle aged people. This is for a number of reasons. Most people younger than 16 are not exposed to thrillers due to film classification (Will speak about this soon) as thrillers contain violent scenes which younger kids are not allowed too, or will not usually watch. People over the age of 55 tend to lose their normal taste in films, and prefer to watch quiet, less gory films. This is not all cases, but most of the time this does happen. So the typical people who watch these films are between the age group i have chosen.
With my film being a romantic Thriller, the audience ages might stray slightly. Woman are more likely to take an interest in my film, as one of the main audiences for romance films are females. Having a strong romance may also attract the attention of older people as it is not all based on action and excitement, there is a tragic romance to it, which can help widen the target audience of the film. This may also apply to couples, as tragic romances are a common genre for couples to watch together.
Film classification largely effects young people. Every film has an age classification which is set by a special institute which decides the classification. This is a legal recommendation, which means people who are not over the age restriction cannot buy the film. This does not stop them seeing the film all together, but it helps prevent people under the age from viewing it. For this reason most of the people under 16 will not watch thrillers due to most thrillers having a fairly high age classification.Our film contains a suicide which could potentially upset people, so our film should probably be shown to no-one younger than 16.
We should now begin to write the treatment for our film, so we can get a full story finalised, and begin to produce our film properly.
