Target audience

To choose who we would have as our target audience we began to research the target audiences of the four thrillers we based our research and work choices on. This make us see that the research depended on the amount of horror and action elements that are included within the film. Eg. the Butterfly Effect and Gone were both a 15 and a psychological thrillers, these films contain very little violence and a lot of scenes that draw the views in psychologically due to being a psychological thriller. The other two films Panic Button and Taken include a larger amount of violence compared to the other two films which fits the genre of a thriller, this is why these two films are of the higher rating of 18.

When it came down to thinking of the ages for our film we choose to use the 15 rating for our film, this is because we are planning to base our film on the psychological thrillers ideas we have gotten from the films we have researched into. This was our final choice because the small amount of violence which was used wasn't as visible or graphic in the trailers of the psychological thriller than it was in the trailer for Taken or Panic Button. Ours will be based on them as we plan to use either little or no violence in our trailer.
