Evaluation; Q4 - Who would be the audience for your media product

I have done some research to find the wider audience for thriller films in general. This research has been done over the world wide web as well as a questionnaire in a educational environment. Below are my findings.
There are many sub genres for thriller films and therefore there is a wide audience; some examples of sub genre's may be: comedy thriller; supernatural thriller; conspiracy thriller; disaster thriller; political thriller; action thrillers; horror thrillers and many more. I will go into detail of these examples of thrillers.

Action thrillers would have a younger audience. The reason for this is because it involves props such as guns, bombs and it also involves a lot of chasing( e.g humans or vehicles). Because of these conventions it would appeal more to a male dominated target audience. On the other hand these type of movies usually have an attractive hero which would attract females. Actions films have a mixed gender audience due to these reasons.

Gangster/crime thrillers also tend to have a younger audience. These audiences can be as young as 18. These type of movies usually attract male audiences because the protagonist is usually a very macho-man,therefore they would feel as though the movie is aimed at them. Additionally the movie is more likely to be set in a urban location and therefore it would be seen to be very appealing as the film is more realistic. Also a reason why the younger audience would be appealing to this type of film genre is because they may have experienced what the characters have been experiencing or it may be happening around them as they also live in these types of areas.

Comedy thrillers have a very large audience. These audiences can range from a young age as 15 to an older age group as 50. The reason for this is because comedy is very popular as everyone enjoys a laugh and comedy thrillers also allow audiences to relax instead of being stressed with work and so on. Additionally comedy thrillers are based in urban and sub-urban areas and therefore many people would feel engaged. Comedy thrillers also tend to allow audiences to socially interact about the movie as they remember their favourite lines or scenes.
