Target Audience For Thriller Film

 

Decide on what age certificate your film will be and why? Consider the content of your narrative and your target audience too.

My groups gave a lot of thought to the age range as it is such an important factor of a film. We didn’t want to deny certain age groups from watching our thriller film; however we didn’t want to stray from the codes and conventions of a thriller film. This could make the film boring and unconventional. Therefore my group went for the age group 15. We believe this is the right age group that allow us to use all the codes and convention of a thriller film and the film to apply to a large range of people and age groups, consequently creating a exciting engaging exhilarating film with can apply to a large audience and still using the codes a conventions to create an pulse pumping film. The bbfc age rating 15 consists of these themes; can contain adult themes, hard drugs, frequent strong language and limited use of very strong language, strong violence and strong sex references, and nudity without graphic detail. Sexual activity may be portrayed but without any strong detail. Sexual violence may be shown if discreet and justified by context. These themes consist with other thriller film such as gone which is a new thriller film which consist of the same convections our thriller film may consist of. in addition we didnt want to put our age range to high or two low. if  we went with the age range bellow it would allow a larger audience to view the film however we wouldnt be able to use all the codes and convetions of a thriller film as the bbfc has certain criterias. plus if we went to the age group above 18 it would minamise the age range that could watch the film. therefore this is why we gave the age group of 15. We feel that this age criteria is perfect for entertaining our audience and making a very thrilling movie.
