Target Audiences

Generally, the target audience for thriller films would be within an age range of 15 to 30(+) years. This could also typically be of the male gender, however, a lot of females are attracted to the thriller genre as well. It also depends on the film, as the film has to be relevant to the desired target audience. There are some other things which need to be considered when writing a thriller film:

- if the target audience is going to be of people of a certain race or culture, then the film needs to be written properly to attract that audience. Also if it is going to be taken to another country, you need to consider whether to translate the speech using on-screen subtitles, or whether to alter the voice and language of the actor using a voice-over.

-the age range of the film also needs to be consider. The film needs to be properly age rated for the target audience. A 15 rated film cannot have humour, or aspects in it which are unsuitable for the desired age range.
