A target audience is very important when making a film as it is who the film is made for and who will be buying the film after it is made, so for example if the target audience was young children then the film would have to be suitable for them, so it couldn’t contain any blood or gore, as it wouldn’t be accepted as a PG film.
The target audience for my thriller film is late teenagers
and adults, my group and I decided that this would be a suitable target
audience for a thriller film as the film might contain some blood or swearing,
which would be acceptable in a 15 rated film.
My thriller film appeals to an audience & people who
like thriller films and the thriller genre, as our film has some conventions of
a thriller film such as an engaging narrative, suspenseful soundtrack, low
level lighting and characters that portray the narrative well to the audience.
This would all appeal to anyone that likes thriller films. For example people
that like thriller films would be attracted to our thriller film as it has relatable characters and some moderate violence and tense scenes that some might find a bit scary. However people
that don’t necessarily like thriller films would enjoy our film too as it has
characters that they can relate to, and it isn’t gory which can put people off
thriller films. We have included these elements after looking at our research and including elements of thriller films that people enjoy, and not including parts that people don't enjoy in the thriller films they have watched.
Your analysis of question 4 shows a basic understanding of who your target audience is for your thriller and why they are important to consider as you have only stated what you have included in your sequence for your target audience but not explained how/why it appeals to them as a result.
