Its A Fugitive

Production!Target Audience Research

Target AudienceBefore starting to plan your movie it is important to research and set in your mind who is this movie being made for, which age group or people do you want to attract and what type of people you want to watch your movie. Knowing this will make it easier to realise what content you will need to add in your movie because different people watch movies for different reasons. For example some young teenagers and young adults enjoy watching movies which contain genres like thriller, violence action and many more where as audiences who are 35 or 40+, may enjoy movie genres like romance, family, sci-fi , western, war and many more.

It is also crucial to get the target audience right due to the fact that if a lot of time and money has been put into this one movie you obviously want a positive outcome such as attract people to come and watch the movie, be number 1 in the box office also as a business make a profit on the other hand if all this is done incorrectly then the impact which the company or business will face will be dreadful.

The AudienceThe audience is split into many different into different categories and section to start off with there is social class, which gets splits into four different sub headings, position in society, working class, earnings and upper and lower class. All these are summed up with the heading upper class who are also known as aristocracy, middle class who are described as financially comfortable and working class who are described as lower paid jobs or manual workers.

Existing Movies Target Audiences

ConclusionNow that I have come to the end of my target audience research I have realised what my possible target may be, I believe my Thriller/Horror movie will attract more males than females, from the age of 15-24, their lifestyles would be YAKS and MICE, the type of audience my movie will be for Aspirers, Resigned , Strugglers and finally Explorers.
