Audience profile.

This is my audience profile that i have created for my thriller film and have used my audience research questionnaire to help me, my audience profile also acts like a kind of symmary of my questionnaire.

Age: 16 - 25 years of age
Gender: Female and male
Mainstream/Independent: my questionnaire implies that mainstream is preffered, however the storyline of my thriller suggests that is an Independant film.

What they look for in a thriller; My target audience look for the thriller to be set in a location that they recognise,a film set in the present period; the period it was filmed in. My target audience also look for good actors to play the characters; they look for them to be believable and well at acting out any actions that the character may have to perform. They also look to have found out key elements of the film, within the first two minutes of the film for example; the location of the film. They also want the characters to look believe because of their costumes, so they want them to be wearing costumes that represent their personality and role in the film.

Other films they like(genre,events,cinematography,mise-en-scene,themes); pyschological, film noire, unexpected events, the criminal to be a character who is portrayed as innocnent throughout the film, good lighting; creating shadows and highlights, to represent a sense of stalking and following.

How are you going to appeal to the audience; I am going to appeal to my audience by creating characters who are believable, have a good acting ability, are dressed to fit their personality and role in the film, have a good well lit stage, which creates strong highlights and shadows.
