Our Primary Research of Our Target Audience. (Analysed)

Based on the interviewees thoughts of an overall thriller and our idea to make our own action sequence, we knew that he was an ideal example of our target audience. He likes to see action, weapons, killings etc which is what we are going to try and incorporate into our thriller. He thinks our opening will be very good and he likes the idea that the first robbery is just unexpected and reveals no information whatsoever which encourages him to watch on. He expects our audience to mainly be male teenagers and above which is what we were aiming for since the start, so we will try to add all these features in our thriller so we appeal to the right audience.

We interviewed an experienced media teacher with an adequate knowledge of the thriller genre. He is into thrillers but only those specific genres such as action and conspiracies. He seems to like films with chases and plot twists. So in our thriller we will try and build up to a car chase but without the actual action so it builds up into a car chase that will engage our audience. He said he would like our thriller as it has a sort of 'Town' film feel and as he likes that film he reckons that Primate would be suitable for him. He also said that the actors are important where they're good looking or not, so it appeals to the audience. We will make sure that we use an actor who's role will appeal towards the audience.

The other male teachers all had similar opinions but we then asked a female teacher who had a different perspective to our idea and the genre. She hadn't seen many thrillers and only agreed with the male teacher as he had seen a few films. She also didn't enjoy many thrillers but said that if there was a good looking actor then she would definitely be more interested in the film. We should make sure we get the largest possible audience for our thriller to try to get more views (money if it was fully made) by using things that all these people expect.

Overall we have noted down all these expectations and are going to incorporate them into our thriller so that we achieve a widespread audience ranging from mainly males 17+ and hopefully some females as our thriller will have elements in it that would be suitable towards them.
