Having a target audience for a film is important because the film needs to be built around the age certificate and will need to be looked at carefully, the product will have to abide by the age rules and guidelines. Having a target audience restricts films to the boundaries which allow certain ages to watch. My groups film is aged 15+this means the BBFC certificate will be a 15. My group and I chose this audience age because of the genre being a thriller, children under the age of 15 may be scared of the content or may not be allowed to view it. The gender chosen for our target audience is both men and women because the audience are then a wider range and more will watch. The narrative is also a reason for the chosen target audience as some people may find it romantic to watch a scary film with a partner or funny to watch with a friend group. My thriller film appeals to the target audience because it based around them. For example it is has been made relatable by having plots that may be included in their lives. All the work have been focused on what will effect them. For example on content involve iconography of a knife being used as a weapon which will show the audience the danger of the character as they are able to injure or kill someone. This shot is not overly scary as it still needs to be appropriate for audience age. They will be able to understand the purpose of it but will also it will also alarm them of the victims vulnerability. My groups opening sequence will appeal to the target audience because they have been carefully chosen and the content has also been chosen to what will have a effect on them and restricted any scenes which my be to alarming. The target audience can build a relationship with the characters through micro element and the narrative. This because they portray and allow certain meanings and effects to take place which the audience can understand.

Your analysis of question 4, demonstrates a basic understanding of your target audience. You have identified your target audience and you have started to relate your points back to your sequence, through the micro elements. However, more detailed examples and explanations are needed to demonstrate further understanding of this question.
