Our thriller opening is likely to attract a primarily female audience between the age of fifteen and twenty-five; our thriller attempts to portray a deviant femme fatal lead character whom diverts the expected norm by taking control of the scene and not submitting under the male character, therefore a female dominated audience may feel empowered by this portrayal, encouraging them to watch on.
We expect our typical audience member to be well educated with an individual personality and style, this is due to the ‘art house’ impression of our thriller, with its extreme close ups and strong focus on the natural beauty of the location. The location is aesthetically pleasing and will especially appeal to those with an interest of the Norfolk boards / costal area. Equally, it’s worth noting that the outdoor location is easily identifiable for a universal audience. However, our demographic is likely to be white British as the actors we’ve used portray such, therefore the audience will identify more with them. Also, the location may suggest the audience is adventures and perhaps enjoy exploring the outdoors further making the thriller realistic.
Moreover, our thriller explores aspects of the contemporary moral anxieties related to stalking within Britain; the audience realises the male character is being stalked by a - perhaps mentally ill - female character, this then encourages the audience to become conscious of the people around them and thus to take greater vigilance. It also complies with the consensus that strange individuals lurk behind trees in the foggy outdoors; heightening the certain British paranoia.
