The main audience for my thriller would be teenagers. Most films for teenagers consist of romance and high action. Whereas my thriller contains more twists and turns with the main character trying to find herself after multiple personalities. Seeing as most of the cast are teenagers most of the teenagers would be able to understand the story of the teen as she goes through her life.
There are also some older viewers who would be possibly be attracted to the way in which the teens are represented, this is they can see something different and teenagers not being represented in the same way they are in most thrillers. An example of another film with a different representation of youth is the film by PJ Hogan called Mental.
Mental stars Toni Colette and is directed by PJ Hogan, the same team behind the successful Muriels Wedding. This film however is not a thriller but is a comedy. This film portrays five teenagers who are convinced they have mental problems. It is at the end of the film when Shaz - a hitch-hiker picked up to look after the girls by their father, explains their thoughts. She states how everyone around them was suffering from mental disorders and therefore the girls who did not have any mental disorders were seen as the mental ones. The teen sisters were in fact not sufferers but were made to feel like they were. They were surrounded by people who had disorders such obsessive compulsive disorder.
Considering my own thriller, I would aim this at mostly the teenage range of people. Below is a profile.
The feedback I received from my first draft was that the titles looked vey bland and made the thriller look like it was made in the 40s. I was also told to make the transitions tighter, another piece of feedback I received was to consider breaking the home-video sequence, this is because it does go on for quite a while and can become monotonous.
