Question 5) How did you attract/address your target
audience?
The importance of
doing the secondary research into existing films:
Researching Into existing thriller films was important
because I needed to know what my target audience is attracted to. Another
reason why I needed to look into existing thriller film is to know the common
conventions of popular thriller film and how they would work in my production.
The target
audience of thriller films? (Age gender, ethnicity, occupation, hobbies and
interest)
From my research into thrillers, I believe that the target
audience that they appeal to consist of the following:
Age: 15-30 because this the younger people who would enjoy
this type of thriller film with violence and death.
Gender: Unisex because all genders can enjoy this film it is
not targeting a specific gender.
Ethnicity: All type because the movie is not specific to any
to any ethnicity
Occupations: Student working unemployed because this film
isn’t really aimed at people who are in pension.
Hobbies and interests: sports socializing fashion going out
with friends.
I believe that from thriller films the target audience enjoy
the element of surprise, having a psychological or a physiological affect from
the movie and being confused while watching a thriller film. But the most
important thing is that they get scared watching the thriller film as this is
what most people watch thriller films for. This was good research as it meant
that for my thriller I had to consider including these things for my audience
as they would enjoy the thriller film more.
My target audience
From my research, the target audience I wanted to attract
for my thriller was young people aged 15-30 from any gender because this social
group are the ones that normally watches thriller films. Another reason why I
choose this target audience is because most of the people I gave my
questionnaire to were people from around that age and they are the ones that
game me feedback to see what they want to see in a thriller film,
Addressing my target
audience
I carried out a questionnaire because I had to get feedback
from my audience to see what they would like to see in a thriller film so I
could make the film as good as possible. The importance of a questionnaire is
that it is direct and specific because you see the person face to face which
means most likely the feedback is going to be accurate.
Some key question
I asked to ensure I was attracting my target audience.
Q) Do you like when
villains faces are hidden?
This was an important question because this helped me see
how many people like seeing the villains face hidden and a lot said yes so I
decided to include a mask for my thriller film?
Q) What kind of
lighting would have more effect on you?
This question was important because it helped me see what
type of lighting people preferred to see in thriller films and majority said
low key lighting so I decided to go with that?
Q) What type of
themes do you like to see in thriller films?
This helped me because a lot of people said violence and death
so that is what I have decided to include in my thriller films?
Q) What scares you
the most about thriller films?
This helped me because I found out what most people found
scary about thriller films and it made me include things that they said such as
the element of surprise?

here's my questionnaire
audience feedback
After creating my production, I held a focus group because I
wanted feedback from the audience, the people that were asked to come and view
the production were other media and film students so that they could give me
proper feedback because they know the terminology of media. Below is some of
the criticism I received.
