Target Audience and Production Company Ident

For our target audience of our thriller film that we a creating we have a target audience from the quadrant males under 25. this is due to the content that we plan to have in our film, like:

typical thriller target audience

• Violence, this would appeal to our target audience as it would probably excite a young male audience so that they would enjoy the film, but this may not to apply to other quadrants as they may be more "squeamish" and therefore hinder their enjoyment of the film.
• Identifying with main characters, as the people in that quadrant we are targeting are in the same age bracket as the main characters in our film, this may draw them to it as they can relate to the character any perhaps understand why they are doing certain things. this however does not work with other quadrants as they are not in the same age group or same gender as the main characters and therefore may find it to relate to them and this can result in limiting their enjoyment of the film.
• Genre, this also helps our film appeal to young males as they typically enjoy films from the thriller genre, such as: Taken, Leon and Batman. This also pushes our film from other quadrants that may dislike films from this genre and would not want to see our film because of this.
• The influences of the game, as this is a revenge story I feel that I was influenced by films like Taken, and others in my group felt influences by the film kidulthood for the location and possible gang influences. these again are films that people from our targeted quadrant are the typical people who would enjoy this sort of film. and would perhaps push away people who dislike these films that may have had some influence decisions in our film.

The use of locations and accents may appeal to a UK audience as it can make the characters more easily relatable to them as they may feel closer to the situation as they may live in or know the area which connects them more to the story.

However the themes in the film are far more universal and can appeal to everyone, as we all can associate with being in a family and loosing someone close to us and this can make the audience (from any quadrant) more empathetic with the main character and what they are doing. This is similarly seen in the theme of revenge as it is more universal as many people have been victims of injustice and can understand the feeling of want revenge for what has happened to them.
