Thriller Audiences

The audience is one of the most important aspects of the films success. Deciding what sort of audience to aim our film at is a very important decision, as Silence of the Lambs and No Country for Old Men are considered the two best thrillers in recent memory but are rated as R. This mean that their target audience was probably for the young male and female adults, which would usually be around 18 to 25 years old.

This shows that the thriller movie should be mainly aimed at this type of audience as this would mean that the thriller will have the best chance of success. The film should still be aimed at all ages above 18 as this would again mean that the thriller would be as successful as possible and would mean that all aged people who enjoy thrillers are able to watch the film.



As the table shows from research it does show that the biggest thriller audience is in the older ages, this means that the thriller should be aimed at most thriller movie audience as this would increases the success of the film. The graph also shows that the the under 18 age group makes up a very low percentage of the thriller audience in general meaning that a thriller that is more adult themed would be the best type to do as this would appeal to the older ages and they could relate to the film more.

This graph shows that the genders are nearly equally split, this means that the film should be aimed at both genders to gain maximum success from our audience. It also means that we should have a female influience in the film such as a female character to help widen the range of the film.
