Target Audience Demographic


When producing a film no matter how great it could be quality wise, the audience's response are vital to any mainstream production, as it is the approval of the film within the general public that decides its prosperity.

The illustration shown below is the list of the top two hundred and fifty films, as rated by IMDb users.




My movie aims towards audience who range between 16-45 as it contains violence, but mainly the fact that individuals under the fixed age aren't typically drawn to psychological thrillers. Due to the fact that it can be confusing and majority of the elements are hidden from them in order for them to get involved and work along with the storyline. Young teens don't prefer that, they enjoy movies that gives it all out to them; for them to understand and know what is exactly going on.



Purpose of demographic audience?

The class stratification is an imperative piece of breaking down demographics as occupation a major contribution of our identity as individuals and, crucially to institutions. For instance, in case you're a judge or a top lawyer, then chances are you'll be sitting in front of the TV later than the prime-time slot, other than maybe checking in with short news upgrades. Appearing differently in relation to these individuals, there's class E, which incorporates students and the unemployed, who might sit in front of the TV and movies a considerable amount when they're stuck in at home with very little to do. A ton of media productions are pointed (as with different classifications within demographics) at one or several specific class, as they conclude that their productions will engage them more than others.

The demographic audience for my film varies from 'Casual / Lowest grade workers (class E)' to ' Middle Class (class B)'.  Psychological thrillers are adored by adults no matter the age and what they do for living, not everyone but by a good number of adults and late teens. I would say my movie also aims towards the 'Upper Middle Class' however my storyline is about teens and nothing really out of the ordinary, this wouldn't really appeal to those individuals as they don't have the time unless if it is an 'Avatar, The Shawshank Redemption or Interstellar' standard. On the other hand, as it is about teenagers and how they cope at school, parents would want to get an insight of it; no matter their demographic status. In conclusion, I believe that my movie would gain a mixture of demographic audience ranking from class E to class A.
