Task 5 - How did you attract/address your audience?

In the early stages of our thriller we did surveys to find out which age groups like what kind of film genres. I worked out that younger age groups enjoy more action films and as our thriller title sequence didn't involve physical action, joint with the rest of our survey results we knew it was a 30 - 50 age range.

The political side of the film attracts stereotypical business men who are interested in news, politics and current affairs as it has similar elements and realism within the storyline.

The man cast in our thriller are all around the age of 50, and we didn't cast them to attract women as heart throbs like Brad Pitt. We chose them as average working men so it is easy for the man audience to relate and compare themselves to the men in the thriller. The audience can also aspire to an idealised version of themselves as the world leaders.

They are also extreemly powerful men at the top with the fate of the world in their hands, with all the decisions left down to them. I think theres a part in every man that would love to be the hero and save the day. The movie would develop and later on involve a family or some loved ones to focus on and see how the man of the family protects them.

The thriller would also be a time for some average men to esscape their normal lifes and fantisies about them being the man in power as they can relate to the cast.

The thriller would reach American and some European audiences as it shows those countries as the goodies and heros, the middle easter hacker character is the bad man in the thriller so those coutnries wouldnt enjoy themselves being so negatively represented.

A way to attract women as a secondry audience will be by bring forward the importance of the two powerful women characters. The American's administrator is played by Alison this is putting women very high up in the rankings, second in comman. Other women will really like to watch this as it shows how women are being as powerful as men.
