Audience Feedback

We pitched our ideas to the group and the feedback we received showed that we needed to develop our characters. The killers needed a stronger, more definite motivation. We took this into account and adjusted our treatment.

Audience Profile
I think a thriller film needs to ideally be at least a 15 certificate to enable the filmmaker to use things like violence and references to things like drugs to make the film more exciting. For an 18 you can use more than just references like extreme drug use or swearing. The use of drugs, sex, language and violence need to be taken into account when deciding on an age certificate for our film.

We decided to place our film at a 15 age certificate. An 18 would be unnecessary and would limit our audience by an extra 3 years.


This will not prevent us from showing sufficient amounts of violence to make the film exciting and the violence is the only issue featured in our film regarding age certificates.
Our primary target audience is males aged between 15 and 24. The focus is mainly on males because they tend to enjoy this kind of violent film, however many girls enjoy this type of film too as well as the psychological elements so our secondary target audience is females of the same age range.
