Target Audience Research




This research shows us how our film shouldn't be aimed at young teenagers, this is because during our videoing and questioning we discovered that people aged between 15-17 weren't necessarily interested in films that involved anything psychological, they were however interested in modern conventional thrillers that involved chase scenes and car crashes rather than our film which will hopefully include mind games, and complicated scenes that engage the audience into believing something that isn't necessarily true.






The two videos above show the age range of our target audience; 18-24. We have chosen this age group as they knew what would be involved within a psychological thriller and stated that they had previously been to the cinema to watch them. We also asked our target audience what the films were that they had seen, as this would therefore give us something to base our film around as it had previously interested our audience.


Our previous thoughts were to go with an audience 25+ however after interviewing that certain age group we found out that they were very uninterested in thrillers all together and therefore it wouldn't do us any favours having them as our audience as we would have to work around the main conventions of a modern/psychological thriller to make it more suitable for them.
