There are different audiences for different film types.There is a divide in the market that suggests that young people are most likely to watch the thriller genre, research suggest that 75% of thriller-viewers are 16-25years of age. The thriller genre tends to target a young-adult audience - young adults. however some argue that the indepth puzzle solving theme attracts older viewers (25+) all in all, the thriller genre appear to appeal to a wide range of people of all ages and backgrounds.
For our thriller film we shall be exploring audience types and looking at targeting people between the ages of 16-25 as it is to do with modern technology - chat rooms and social networking sites, and mostly because our characters are young teenagers and their antics - allowing a pathway for connection with the audience who we have chosen to target, relating more to my current generation (16-18).
Age could also be consider as some films appear to target males more than females, for example 2011 box office smash BLACK SWAN has an initial female audience appeal, as it is to do with ballet and dance however the tale itself is far more thrilling... Black Swan has user ratings from both males and females, on average 6.2 females have watched the movie whilst only 4.5 males have plucked up the courage, although i personally think its the mild lesbian reference has attracted the male viewers.
The majority of our target audience will be made up of students due to the age range of our thriller, and also due to the fact that around 75% of the thriller film genre is watched and consumed by young people aged between 16-25.The interests of our target audience are demonstrated mostly by other thriller films they like.
