My Thriller target audience


Gender – This film would be aimed relatively specifically at an all male audience aged between 16 and 24  This is simply because of the all male cast and general masculine interest in punch ups and motorbikes. 

The audience will be able to relate to the characters as they are of young ages.  Also, the idealistic adrenaline fuelled excitement of a classic ‘boys toy’ would increase interest mainly of a young, male audience.

Character dress

The main character (with the most screen time) in my film opening is dressed to look simple, plain and inexpensive. This is because we are showing his background and that he is not in complete poverty but at the same time he is definitely not well off.  The plain and boring colours represent his unhappy and pessimistic outlook on his own situation.  We chose his shoes to be big, stylish and purple.  This is to give our character some obvious identity (considering our film is mostly set in the dark). This makes the film less confusing for the viewer.

The second character (Thug) has a hoody under a leather jacket.  The hoody is typical of modern, young, thuggish type teenagers/young adults who are discreet about their identity.  The leather jacket over the hoody represents a gangster type thug.

Social class

My thriller would intrigue both a working and middle social class because of the unfortunate young character Tom.  He has a poor background that people could relate to and he is young, also intriguing a younger audience.
