The audience for my thriller film will be 18-30 year old females. They will go to university and study psychology or criminology and will aspire to become a psychologist specialising in criminal profiling or a police officer within forensics. Therefore the thriller genre is important to them as they enjoy using what they have learnt to figure out what is going to happen in the film. They enjoy the more psychological thriller films as they think that the less-obvious crimes are more interesting to work out.
I found out that this demographic will most enjoy my thriller film from the questionnaire in which I carried out over Christmas. I also found out that these are the people most likely to watch films at independent cinemas such as CinemaCity. Picturehouse cinemas are also situated in University towns therefore there is a lot of opportunity for students to watch independent films such as my own.
The audience for Intruder are most likely to watch television series such as Silent Witness, Luther, The Killing and Spooks. They also read crime books such as Lee Child, Patricia Cornwell and Steig Larsson helping them to build up their knowledge of cases whether fiction or not.
Emily where is your poster?
ReplyDeleteYou have created an interesting profile for your audience suggesting their reading and watching habits and educational status. You have also referred to your own marketing and exhibition research which gives weight to your profile.
The target audience seems very narrow. Would this audience be able to achieve sufficient box office profits to make cinema distribution worthwhile?
