Target Audience

What is the Target Audience for our Media Production?
After much research, we discovered that thrillers don't just appeal to a select age group. We foudn that it appeals to people fromt eh age range of 15-50+. This was quite suprising to find as we niavely thought it would only appeal to the 15-18 age group catergory. We found that when we asked people within the 11-14 age group category to compelte a questionaire they simple expressed the fact they were not interested in this film genre as they find it 'boring' and 'too complicated'.

Here is an example of an elderly women who enjoys the thriller genre.

I then furthered my research by looking on IMDB. I wanted to further clarify that older people do enjoy the Thriller Genre. Whilst looking for evidence to support this idea I found some statistics on the film Inception.

These statistics show that from 9.3 (under 18 year olds) to 7.9 (over 45) there is a 1.4 decrease. However I do not feel this is a very significant drop, there are still a lot of over 45 year olds that enjoy the thriller genre. Although it is more popular with under 18 year olds the thriller genre is quite universal and appeals to lots of different age groups.
