Target Audience

After researching similar film genres and plot lines to our own opening sequence including, 'Fatal Attraction', 'Basic Instinct' and 'The Eyes of Laura Mars', I have evidently become aware of audience research. I believe our Thriller film should be targeted at a 15 certificate. A 15 certificate leaves an opportunity for a wider audience. Also, as our film may be classed as a Psychological thriller, I believe that an audience not intended for children would be precise, as I don't believe anyone younger than 15 would understand the plot as it is quite intelligent. Although, we have discussed having our opening sequence as a 12A or PG certificate, to reach a larger audience than a 15 certificate would.
