Thriller Genre Research

For the opening to our film we decided on the genre of thriller. We found from our research that the usual target audiences for thrillers would be young men (around the ages of 18-25.) Films like Layer Cake and Kidulthood were found to have more men watch it than females. However, we want out film to include more female characters, which would draw females into the film more. We also took into account that we know many females (including myself) that love thriller movies so we decided we wanted our target audience to be males and females from the ages of 18 to 25.

In our research we found that people in the target age rage we are focussing on, being quite young, feel that "anything is possible." They feel they can "branch out and find themselves" at the age they are as they feel once they hit 30 it is time to settle down. From this research I can imply that our film would be good for them as it is quite adventurous and exciting. If our research is correct, then I'm sure 18 - 25 year olds would love to spend their money on a cinema ticket to see an exciting thriller like ours, as, like I said before, for them "anything is possible."
