Thrillers

Audiences enjoy thrillers because thrillers create excitement and drama that thrill people and let them experience the action. The target audience for 'The Butterfly Effect' is a younger audience because some concepts are unrealistic and there is a lot of excitement and pace throughout. Also the main character is played by Aston Kutcher which clearly appeals to a younger audience. The target audience for this film is probably about 13 - 19. 'The Silence of the Lambs' targets an older audience as it is more graphic and realistic. The target audience is about late teens onwards. 'Seven' again targets an older audience because of its graphic content and the complexity of the plot.

This is the trailer for 'The Butterfly Effect'. It is a psychological thriller which is made up of false endings but ultimately ends with a compromised ending. It represents a thriller through the key feature of an ever sense of dread that the audience cannot prevent. The pace is also raised extremely high at points and exictement is created through the choices made by the protaganist that we follow. Its target audience would be roughly 14-19 because of the choice of actor as the protaganist and the less realistic themes within the film

This is the trailer for the film 'Seven', a psychological thriller that finishes with a compromised ending. The target audience is a bit older for this thriller as the plot is more complex and its more graphic. However the actor Brad Pitt has been chosen partly due to his appeal to women and so this widens the age range but i would say its roughly 15 onwards.
