Who would be the audience for your media product?

The thriller genre is one of the most popular in film, due to the fact that the many films can have thriller elements the sheer number of sub-genres means they intertwine with almost every other film. All genders and mostly adults watch thrillers, due to adult themes in them. 

Quentin Tarantino,"The King of Dialogue"
In my opinion, my thriller would hopefully be appeal to both genders above the age of 15. The film would later introduce characters that would be appeal, if I were to make the opening scene into a feature length film the co-protagonist would be a rookie female police detective trying to find the victim, who has to deal with institutional sexism and doubts that she is in some way involved in the kidnapping. This hopefully would appeal to the female audience who would find a character they can relate to. For the male audience the other co-protagonist, the victim or the two antagonists would appeal to them. The film in my opinion would be rated 15, as they even the opening scene has explicit language and violence; these would also be rife in the film as they are key conventions of thrillers. Action and to a lesser extent violence will appeal to the male audience who often enjoy them. The fact that the film is British: British cast and set in Britain means that internationally it may have less interest as other countries might not understand accents or slang, however it will have more national interest. Another point is that people from older generations may dislike the film due to them finding the explicit language offensive. On the other hand, in my opinion those who are fans of crime thrillers and also of Quentin Tarantino will especially enjoy this thriller. As I would like my thriller to have the same slick dialogue that Tarantino is known for and the same use of excessive violence and swearing.
