Target Audience

The target audience in which we are aiming for would be 15 +. Although this is an extremely wide audience to try and aim for, we believe that the movie cannot appeal to just certain ages, but to thriller film lover's in general. This is therefore why we have made the target audience (ages) as varied as it is.
Although the film could be said to be mostly male orienated we are aiming for both male and females. For much the same reason as above, that thriller enjoyers cannt be classified to sex's, but also because while males might enjoy the violent edge the thriller contains, a female might enjoy the complexity of the opening, such as the non-linear structure and the mixed parallel shot editing use.

Existing films which our target audience would be along the lines of 'criminal minds'. These sort of thrillers are such that contain violence, without actually showing any typical gore, and have sophisticated scenes showing how crimes are worked out.

To engage the audience we will try and create dramatic tension. To create this tension, we are firstly incorporating a non-linear structure. We are showing the end of the film at the start, therefore this mix up should engage our audience straight away as they will be eager to find out how the ending has been built up. Also by using parallel shooting between a POV shot and a CCTV image, we will ingage the audience by building tension through this, and therefore not boring our audience.
