PLANNING - Target audience

We are aiming for our story line to be a psychological drama thriller although from the opening you might assume that it has a sub-genre of horror. Therefore this will influence the target audience and vary it to thriller films with different sub genres.

Our thriller will appeal to people who enjoy analytical thinking and a lot of tension and suspense. A person who enjoys intrigue however doesn't want to watch three hours of hard hitting action or gore.Therefore we have decided that our thriller will be made for the target audience of a mature and intelligent 18 to 30 year old male or female.

This bar chart shows that psychological thrillers are the sub-genre most prefered by people in general, therefore our thriller will be able to appeal to a wide range of people although it does have a specific target audience.
