Evaluation Activity 4

The primary target audience for our thriller was predominently men aged between 15 and 35. Our thriller had a gangster theme running throughout which may have attracted a slightly older audience who were interested in gangster films. Films like 'Goodfellas' and 'The Godfather' are examples of gangster-thrillers and people who liked these films were a target for our thriller.

When identifying our target audience we looked at what films they watched, where they shopped, their favourite t.v programme and other characteristics that meant they would be a target for our thriller. 



Pete Holden

 Pete Holden was an ideal example for the audience we were targeting as he fitted the characteristics that we believed meant he would enjoy our thriller. His dress sense was very casual but also fashionable and in tone with the theme of gangster that ran throughout our thriller opening as you can see with the hoody he is wearing. This shows he may have a dark side like many of the characters in our thriller opening. His music taste contained a variety of music genres but his particular favourites were drum and bass, grime and rap and examples of some of these are found in our thriller which meant there was potential he would enjoy our clip.



Pete's favourite T.V programme was 'The Sopranos' which is a gangster series set in America. One of the themes of our thriller was gangster and so he immediately seemed to fit in as our target audience. Our thriller was similar to the sopranos series as it involved murder, revenge and torture. The fact that our clip was similar to the programme meant that it was very likey Pete would enjoy our thriller opening.
