audience profile

Age
We aimed our thriller at audience of 17-40 yr olds, with an age certificate of 15 due to violence and drug usage. Our storyline could appeal to an older audience due to our action and storyline yet we aimed it at 17 year olds due to our young cast of 16- 18 year olds

Gender
Our thriller is aimed at both males and females, females with our femme fatal opening our film seeking revenge on males and dealing with her own personal problems woman may be able to relate to and men with our drug use and violence introducing them to an action film as in our survey we found men preferred a male lead.

Occupation
students in sixth form, college or university are key target audiences.
However it also targets the more superior film viewers due to the suspense within the opening as well as reference to more classic thrillers such as Psycho.

Targeting the more superior film viewer is also due to the fact that our film would likely be viewed in cinemas such as cinema city due to its art house production. Therefore viewers watching the film would be interested in the use of location and mise-en-scene.
Showing our film at cinema like cinema city will appeal to an art house audience

Aspirations
Aspirations of the target audience of this film is likely to be high with the film mainly appealing to students attending sixth form, college etc therefore could gain insperation from this production and discuss the actions and messages portrayed within the film.

Simliar films to appeal to target audience
Our film is based around the more classic thriller such as Psycho as it doesn't use so many special effects and CGI. Our inspired director was Quentin Tarantino as he often uses the lead femme fatal who is strong and independent. Therefore our audience would likely to be interested in Jackie Brown and Kill Bill which isn't a thriller but follows the similar conventions.

Interests
Our film uses a soundtrack of classical music therefore our audience is likely to be interested in how it is used and contrasts with the violence which is seen. Our audience is likely to be interested in photography and film making and therefore would be interested in the use of cinematography and use of mise-en-scene. The use of costume is also very striking and stylish and therefore would appeal to a modern fashionable audience.
