For my thriller film, the target audience will be 15 to mid-twenties. This is mainly because 1 have used teenagers in the film and people around this age tend to be quite interested in thriller and horror films. Furthermore they will be able to relate to the teenagers in the clip. The target audience will consist of both males and females as it is not aimed mostly at one gender.
They will have to enjoy watching thriller films and like the idea of not knowing whats going to happen. They will also obviously enjoy the thrill that this type of genre gives them. Existing films that they are likely to like would be The Crazies, Shutter Island, Law Abiding Citizen and Sorority Row etc. These are all other films within the thriller genre.
The guidelines for the classification 15 will contain no discriminatory behaviour, can contain drug-taking without encouraging it, a strong threat unless sadistic or signalised, dangerous behaviour should not be done in too much detail so it cannot be copied, frequent use of strong language is allowed, nudity is accepted without going into too much detail within a sexual reference, sexual activity is also accepted as long as it doesn't go into too much detail, the theme doesn't really matter as long as it is acceptable for 15 year old and violence can be used as long as it doesn't dwell on pain or injuries.
In my thriller film i will use violence through out. The soundtrack will add to the suspense and keep the viewers entertained. The use of flashing images will keep the audience hearts racing. The use of swearing and sexual content will be kept to a minimum. Overall my clip will be suitable for 15 year old but also be entertaining for audiences over the age of 18 - 25 years.
Based on my questionnaire my Target Audience 77% of my target audience was between the age group of 15-25. Both genders seemed to be interested in thriller movies. Race and cultural differences did not seem to make a difference in a persons view toward the genre. My target audience believed that props were needed to create a realistic atmosphere in the movie. Therefore i will be included props where i need them to create realism in my clip. 60% of the people felt narrative was important in a thriller movie. Therefore i want to have an exciting narrative for my movie, with different themes and elements combined together. For example i will intertwine two thriller sub genres together- supernatural and crime thrillers to create my movie. When questioning my audience on whether they prefer colour or black and white movies i was given a close to 50/50% answer, therefore i shall decide what suits my thriller better. My audience seem to favour the protagonist in a thriller movie, so i shall portray the protagonists is a sympathetic and favourable light compared to the antagonist. My target audience were very favourable to having dramatic music that matched the violent visual images and having a contemporary and modern feel to the video. I shall try to incorporate these elements in to my video.

Based on the Interviews my target audience seemed to like crime thrillers that were based around the killers journey through the movie and how he would be caught. One of the interviews results suggests the clues and investigations create a great movie. The use of symbolisation through objects and various other techniques therefore seems like a great idea in my thriller. The locations chosen by my target audience seemed to be in isolated places or confined spaces that created a sense of fear in the victim. The target audience all liked the implication of violence in thriller videos if not the display of it. As i am a low budget media student i have decided to imply violence in my thriller instead of display it. I have also decided not to use swear words in my thriller, this allows me to widen my target audience to the age of 15 and above. Over all i found the interviews gave me indepth knowlege on what my target audience expect in a Thriller.
