In the commercial industry of film making it is important to distinguish your target audience. The motive why it is so important to know your target audience is because it will help when determining what content is to be included. For example, older viewers may favour a dissimilar editing style to a younger audience. This means that there must be a certain understanding of your target audience i.e what film genres they like, type of filming style, editing style etc. This understanding will eventually mean a better revenue than if you came up with a story and tried to advertise without any awareness of your target audience.
The target audience for my thriller is between the ages of 16-25, I have chosen this age range because they are the ages that are most likely to enjoy thriller films and the adrenalin rush they get from it. Also the age certificate i chose was 15 this was because i believe it isn't too gory and bloody to be an 18 but it is still frightening and over the top for it to be certificated at under 15. If we was to make the target audience younger this would not be a good decision because they can get scared a lot easier and it may not be as successful as if we was to aim it at this range.
My film appeals to an audience because of our narrative, it is ver mysterious so therefore people will want to know what happens in the film. Also the soundtrack also links in with the mysteriousness of the film as it is very quiet and there is a strange eerie noise in the background, which give you the feeling that something big is about to happen, so it keeps the audience on the edge of there seat.
Your analysis of question 4, demonstrates minimal understanding of how your thriller appeals to an audience. You have identified your audience, but you have not explored your reasons, but demonstrates the minimal understanding. You need to refer back to your thriller, by including more detailed examples, to extend your understanding further.
