Target Audience

'Black Out'

We are going to aim 'Black Out' to a small niche audience as its going to be a psychological thriller, and would not be attractive for all of the mainstream viewers. The film will get the audience thinking about what could happen next, and constantly want them to keep asking questions about why the characters are doing certain things. Our target audience would be aimed at 15 to 40 year old males. It could attract other thrill seeking females, however we think that the male viewers are going to be more attracted to our film.

After researching different types of films which are related to our opening in the psychological thriller genre, we have all looked into and found out information about certain films such as The Butterfly Effect, Di Vinci Code, and the well known Inception which we've studied in more detail. From this research we've learnt that we need to include narrative events and enigmas to keep the audience alert, interested and asking questions about why the characters are in this certain situation.

We want to make sure we choose our target audience correctly, therefore we have produced a questionnaire which has been handed around to our families and friends to make sure we have an accurate insight into the audience of our film. We printed off 20 questionnaires and gave them around to loads of people at school, as they specifically are from 16 to 18 years old.

I will do a new post once we find out the results, Exciting!
