The genre I have chosen for my film is a crime thriller. This genre of film often contains frequent action and mild, scary, action scenes, as well as violence. As a result and from carrying out research, I believe the main target audience for crime thriller films is fifteen, including the horror genre. A large majority of horror films include a group of teenagers who have got themselves into trouble, hence the target audience being teenagers’ e.g. ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ ‘Jeepers Creepers’ and ‘Halloween’. Due to the central topics of a crime thriller, such as murders and robberies, I think the target audience is more an adults audience as the scenes featured in most crime thrillers are unsuitable for any person below the age of 18. Across time, the most commonly known crime thrillers include: The Departed, L.A Confidential, Seven, Reservoir Dogs and The Silence of the Lambs, all of which are classified as 18s. I do not think that crime thrillers are necessarily aimed at a particular gender, although I think males enjoy the more 'gory' parts of a film along with the violent action scenes more so than females.
