Our target audience would be aged 14+ males, however our feature length film would have moderate gore, therefore meaning our rating would be aged 15, this would therefore put the targeted age at release date from aged 15+, appealing to young adult males also, as the film features as a detective story, this type of thriller mainly appeals to males.
Movies such as:
Silence of the Lambs (1991) :Rating: 8.6/10
Prisoners (2013): Rating: 8.1/10
Se7en(1995): Rating: 8.7/10
The Departed (2006): Rating: 8.5/10
While some of these films are an age rating of 18, they all feature a detective thriller/suspense/horror film, which have received very good reviews, This is why we chose our demographic to target this specific age and gender, although our film could potentially be watched by a female audience also.
In a survey done asking the genre of film watched, this graph shows the responses to thriller movies.
As you can see, males under 18 has one of the highest scoring, which hits our demographic of aged 14+, the thriller genre is also popular with males aged 18-29, which also appeals to our demographic.
This graph shows the viewers of the movie 'Silence of the Lambs' The film although rated an 18, has a high viewing of audience members under the age of 18.
Can you find some research that shows what thriller films such an age group like etc. These can also be quite visual in the form of graphs and charts etc.
