The next step for planning our Thriller is to discuss who our target audience is and who would produce it.
We decided our Thriller would be produced by Film Four as it is not a glamorous film and is darker and more cutting therefore it would require a low budget. The meaning behind the film as all there so not a lot of effects are needed. We do not want to glamorize violence so to avoid this it is best to avoid Hollywood.
Our film takes place and essentially centres around a sixth form boarding college, therefore it is logical to say that male/female students aged 16-18 would be our main target audience as they could relate to it best. However, because of the content of the sequence and the issues raised, we thought that it may to appeal to older audiences, around 25 and upwards as everyone expieriences the fear of terrorist attacks etc. The film plays on the natural human instint to give things a reason and make sense of things that are apparently senseless and is designed to encourage uncomfortable audience voyeurism. The film asks deep questions about life perhaps questions that everyone asks themselves but would never speak aloud. The film would also show how easy it is for a young person to be influenced to commit a sick and twisted crime, the difference between right and wrong and perhaps the flaws in society today. This shows that everyone over the age of 16 would be able to relate somehow to the film. Therefore our main target audience would perhaps be 16-25 year olds (both male and female) as they would be able to relate best to the plot, however there is no reason to suggest that people older than 25 would not enjoy it and relate to it.
