For our film opening we decided to have a psychological thriller as the sub-genre. Due to this we thought that the target audience should be an older audience as they would need to have an intellectual mind to be able to understand the concept of our film.
If a younger audience watched our film they may not understand it and therefore it may bore them which is why a psychological thriller is more suited for an older audience. Also psychological thrillers often have scenes that contain violence and some psychological issues that may be very disturbing for younger audiences.
Through previous research tasks we found that psychological thrillers usually seem more appealing to males and that most psychological films have older males as their target audience.
Females, especially young females, usually don't watch psychological thrillers as they are usually more interested in fantasy, comedy or romance.
Examples of Psychological Thrillers.
Momento (2000)
The Shining 1980
Taxi Driver 1976
