Target Audience

Our target audience for our thriller will be ranging from 15+, and shall be aimed at males yet some females. This is mainly due to the fact that males tend to watch thrillers a lot more than females and that the age range is appropriate as many teenagers' interests are gory scenes and psychological effects on victims.



The 15 rating is used for films being shown in cinemas as a guideline to the age restriction. The 15 rating has many different guidelines; we are highlighting just a few of them that are relevant to our thriller, for example; imitable behaviour which is behaviour that can be copied, so in our thriller the behaviour that could be copied would be to do with beating up the characters and using weapons, this also links into another guideline that is violence which, in a 15, shouldn't show the victims as being in horrific pain for a long period of time, for example SAW which is an 18.
