Evaluation: Question 4 - Audience Profile

This question is about the target audience to our Thriller, the audience would, typically be 18-29 year old men as it's a Crime Thriller. Men enjoy watching Thrillers as they normally star men of their own age and can relate to what is going on in the film as men who star in Thrillers typically have a job working in a busy city, which is less likely to draw attention to the crime they're committing, as they will have to much of a high paid job to lose over crime.

The types of films that a 18-29 year old would watch are mainly thrillers, such as, Silence of the Lambs, Seven, Dead Man Down, Usual Suspect and Shutter Island.


The men who watch Thrillers would shop in high end retail shops and maybe go for a more designer approach when it comes to dressing themselves. Brands such as, Ralph Lauren, Diesel, Hollister, RayBan, Superdry and Fred Perry. The types of shops that they will be visiting to get their clothes are, House of Frazer, John Lewis, Next, Tkmaxx and also Matlan. There are some higher market stores such as, House of Frazer and John Lewis where the designer brands are available, the lower market stores such as Next and Primark are where men can get smart clothes which able the low earning males can still dress smartly.


The audience of this Thriller would listen in on chat music, like club dance music as they will be in their peak part of their life and their social life will be in full swing, they will be old enough to be allowed in to clubs and bars. Therefore they will be listening to on chart and club dance music.

As the target audience would be very busy with work and traveling to and from work, but when they do have time they will watch things such as, How I meat Your Mother, Friends and Family Guy.
