Film Audiences

Film Audiences 
Layla Farrugia

The film audience for any film is the people who watch the film, for every film there is a target audience who the film is aimed at, this can be chosen depending on different factors such as age and gender. Usually the films target audience are the people who mostly view the film but most of the time you get people outside of the target audience who also view the film.

Each film genre usually has a different target audience, for example romantic films are aimed at young woman/teenage girls & action films are aimed at men. catorgrising a film can be based on very stereotypical factors on what a certain type of person likes to watch.  
Thriller films have a specific target audience thats usally have a age limit of 18 as there is usally alot of violence shown and strong language used the only time a film is rated at 18 is when the content is extreamly explicit, in other cases where the content is not that explicit the film would be rated at 15.

 Psychological Thrillers
in psychological thrillers no physical strength is used, The suspense created by psychological thrillers often comes from two or more characters battling against each other's minds using other methods of violence rather then physical violence, this type of thriller usually requires more intellectual thinking therefore 25+ year olds are more likely to watch these type of thrillers. The age rating for a psychological thriller would most likley be 18 as it could be disturbing for any viewer younger then that.

Romantic Thrillers
The base of the story is usually around a relationshipwith an aspect of a thriller in it. The romantic sub genre is not a very popular one therefor there are not many made. The main target audience for a romantic thriller would be female dominated.


Supernatural Thrillers
supernatural thrillers has a unrealistic feel to it, and could be mythical, in this genre there is usally a character who has some kind of physic ability or a supernatural power. The main audience for supernatural thrillers is female based.
