Thriller audience profile

Thriller audience profile

For our thriller we are targeting an audience of the ages 15 – 30 years old. Our thriller would have an age rating of 15 as the movie would most likely contain violence and strong language.

Our thriller with be aimed at both men and women as there is no specific elements only aimed a man or a woman, most of our feedback from our vox pops were similar from both sexes so our thriller would appeal to both. It is also aimed at both genders because it is easier to use a wide range of elements aimed at both rather than having to be picky about what will suit one gender in particular.

Our target audience would be in the socio-economic group of either C1 or C2 meaning they will have a job and a family or a relationship. If they are not old enough to fit the target they would maybe have a part time or Saturday job and be in full time education, this would mean they would fit into the socio-economic group of D-E.

My ideal target audience would be up to date with technology and would be using social media such as face book, twitter and Instagram, the would be interested in drama based tv shows such as Breaking bad and Orange Is the new black, they would also like some psychological shows such as American Horror Story.

I think that having a wide range of music taste throughout my audience is important because you can use different types of music to create different effects which can cater for everyone. Being a fan of music could also mean that my target audience are more social as they would probably attend concerts and festivals with lots of other people. Ideally the music taste would contain styles such as punk rock, jazz, charts and rock etc..

The main psycho graphics of our target audience would be explorers and strugglers. I would argue that an explorer fits well with my thriller because they are typically young and adventurous. They like challenges and trying new things for the experience so they would most likely go and watch our thriller. Strugglers also fit in well with our thriller movie as they are typically disorganised which links well with psychological thrillers, they are also consumers of alcohol and junk food which puts them in the D or E socio-economic group. I think that strugglers would watch our thriller because they like the impact that the film would have on them.
