Who would be the audience for your media product?
Our thriller not only challenged conventions but also meets the conventions of a thriller film. Because of this it was a struggle to decide the audience for your media product. Stereotypically thrilers have a dominate male based audience as it plays with conventions which they enjoy. However our thriller has a female protagonist/Antagonist and is more physcologically based. These aspects bring in a higher female audience. We want to attract to both sex's of the audience, however i feel as if women dominate with the viewing of ours.
reasons why I believe this to be true is a previous thriller film made was Gone Girl. Gone Girl is a 2014 American psychological thriller film directed by David Fincher. It was based upon a novel and has a female protagonist.
The opening of this thriller film shows how they have used a slow pase in the editing, demonstrating that thrillers do not always have to contain such high speed to keep up the tension. Personally I think a slow build is very affective and powefull.
Gone Girls opening audience had a 60% female dominated. Other successfull thriller made whihc had a large female audience was The Maze Runner, Annabelle, The Purge, The conjuring.
This demonstarted that challenging or not challenging the thriller conventions dosent 'set in stone' what type of sex the audience will be. with todays modern society I believe it is best left up to the viewer as to wether the enjoy the thriller film or not.
