Target Audience Analysis for Thriller Film

The audience for the media product would primarily be 18-24 year olds as the main characters are also in that age range, allowing for greater relatability. A secondary audience would be 40-49 year olds interested in the film noir aspects and how times have changed. Females overall would make up more of the audience than males as the thriller opening suggests female dominance and challenges generic conventions, with females able to relate to both young and old characters represented. The target social class would be middle class (C1-C2) as it has sophistication but low budget appeal, similar to successful shows like Sherlock and films made by Warp Films.

Social Class
The social category of our thriller opening would probably be C1-C2 as its a low budget film, and as its aimed at an alternative/ niche audience then it may also be appealing to the B social category !lthough it will mostly appeal to a middle class "C1-C2# audience as its $uite a sophisticated opening, which can relate to educational and meaningful T% series, for e&ample CS' and Sherloc( which are all aimed at the middle class audience and represent intelligence which can be associated with aspects of our thriller as the audience has to wor( out the cliffhanger, which is the general thriller convention of a build of tension leading to a cliffhanger
