Evaluation Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Overall the general audience that is targeted for thriller films is usually quite wide and a wide range of ages enjoy them, however the minimum age tends to be 15 and over as anyone younger than this may not understand the complexity of some films. Also due to the violence and general use of drugs and illegal activity in most it is best suited for maturer audiences. However in general although both genders enjoy thrillers, males tend to enjoy thrillers more then females because they are able to relate with the characters a lot more unlike women who generally are able to relate with characters from other genres like romantic comedys.
When looking at thrillers there are many sub genres to go by that appeal to different types of people and different age groups. Again this is due to the violence shown and explicitly included in most of them.
For our own thriller we decided that the ages most suitable would be between 16-25, this is because it is a crime thriller and involves topics such as drugs and potential violence. I believe that our thriller will appeal mostly to males as stereotypically they tend to enjoy crime thrillers more. We decided that people who were in their late 20s and older wouldn't enjoy the film as  much as the younger audience as they are too 'mature' for topics such as drugs and crack houses. However this is just a general outline of our target audience.


This is an example of our target audience
