the target audience that we planned to aim our movie at was mainly 15-25 year old. these teenage years to young adults are the prime target for most thrillers because as of recent times, they have become something society has gained more interest in. this could be because film has advanced, or they have become more gripping and adrenaline pumping for these ages, but after research, we think that this would be the best target audience to aim our thriller intro at. also we have set this age group because our film is a horror-esque style and clearly would not be suitable for those any younger than 15, and we also feel that, alongside where we want our film to be displayed, the ages of up to 25 would be more likely to show an interest and would be more available to see our film. another reason for this target audience is that the people that stared in our film were of the age in between our target audience. we did this because making the main actors of a film closer the the age that it is targeted to means that the audience could relate to the film better as it is like watching their friends as they are practically the same age. due them being able to relate to the characters we feel as if more people would want to come and see our product that way. This could be a strong influence on our target group and again makes it more specific to this age group. Generally speaking the cinema has become a lesser used establishment as people are more likely to watch films in the comfort of their homes thanks to technological advances. Therefore we feel this age group may be the more likely to attend a cinema or film festival. These are the reasons we chose the age group we did, and we are happy with our reasoning and range.
