EVALUATION - QUESTION 4

From our research and planning (vox pops, questionnaires and online research) we found that an older audience of about 17-28 would enjoy our film genre, psychological thriller, more. However, we hope to push the boundaries by using a younger main protagonist and hope that this will open up the range of our audience age to younger people too.

Our film is open and available to many different types of people, any gender and of any personality.


However, in order to understand the market audience for our film, we have compared our film to the

film 'Taken'. Our film differs slightly from 'Taken' though as ours is not a blockbuster film.

So, in general, we believe that a viewer interested in visiting arthouse cinemas like Greenwich Picturehouse or The Ritzy Brixton who enjoys developing an amateur critique of many different films would enjoy our film.

Since our film's plot is much like that of 'Taken', though in a completely different aesthetic, the audience who found the story of 'Taken' thrilling would also find ours thrilling. This would mean our audience could dip as low as 15 years of age. 

We hope that through the distribution of our product would be available and attractive to all kinds of classes. However, since our film is a psychological thriller, we would aim it to be predominantly presented in city centre art house cinemas. This could mean that it might narrow our audience range as the prices might not be affordable to all classes of people in a city.

Essentially our audience for our film would be young adults (17-28) who are interested in psychological thrillers and go to art house cinemas regularly rather than blockbuster cinemas.

We have classed our film as a certificate 15 (source BFFC) as although it has some violent themes in it, it is not violent enough to be certificate 18.
