Target Audience

Our target audience would be teenagers aged 15 and above and young adults because our thriller is a psychological thriler which means young children may not understand the film, and wouldn't have an interst in the story it tells. We've desided the film's certificate would be a 15 as the film will include scary scenes which young children may feel threated by and become disturbed by the footage whereas more mature age groups have more understanding of the fact it's not real and can watch it whilst subconciously knowing they're safe.The film is not a horror, however it will contain thrills. Within the opening scene you are shown clips of a celler which is dark and gloomy, the view of the girl tied up with blood and bruises on her body could cause disturbance for a younger audience which is another reason we have made the film a 15. The switch over from the scene in the celler to the scene in the kitchen, with the protagonist all of a suddern dressed in smart clothes compared to the scene where the protagonist is tied up shows an example of the psychological effect as it makes you think, the idea of the protagonist shown in a smart uniform getting ready for work shows adult behaviour, she's not a child nor a teenager which can simbolise the fact the film is created for ages 15 and above as a child cannot relate to the protagonist which may mean a child would loose interst easier.

We got the idea of switching the protagonists life from being tied in a celler, to switching back in time to when the protagonist is getting ready for work from the film Memento which shows scenes of the protagonist being disturbed with blood on his body and accompanied but a man who has been shot dead, it switches back in time in order to tell the story to how the protagonist got in that situation by a scene of him in the office and the man who was shot dead is alive and is shown walking into the office too. We liked this idea as it makes the beginning more interesting, you are able to draw the audiences attention into the film as they want to know what happens and how the protagonist got the the situation shown at the beggining, it shows a mystery which psychological thrillers have, you are able to create subtle 'thrills' for the audience.
