2. Target Audience: Age As my film is classified as a '18' all above 18+ would watch my film but specifically my media product is targeted at mainly 18-24's as from a survey conducted I have found out that psychological thrillers are mostly viewed by 18-24's : This survey indicates that mostly 18-24's would watch thrillers and this fits the conventions of psychological thrillers as from my research I established that most thrillers are 18+ as of scenes of graphic violence e.t.c. So if my film was targeted at another age it would go against the conventions of psychological thrillers.
