The dress sense for our target audience includes casual wear, sporty wear and work uniform.

Casual and sporty wear appeal to this age range because this is usually the type of clothing that 14-21 year old would wear outside of school, college or work.

+Primary target audience

For our thriller we conducted primary research, in the form of an questionnaire. Both of us did a questionnaire and handed out the questionnaire to a total number of 30 people between us. The ages of the people ranged from 14-21 because this was our ideal audience that the thriller is targeted at. Both genders’ took art in the survey and we had 15 people who were males and 15 who were females. We handed out the survey to a range of ethnicities , the reason for this is because we didn’t target the thriller at a specific audience.

We specifically chose this range because we believe that it will appeal to a younger audience, due to the codes and conventions that is occurring in the thriller opening.

From conducting our thriller research we found that the thriller opening appealed more to teenagers because of the intriguing plot and the psychological aspect to the thriller. This proves that we have chosen an ideal range because the ages that we have chose are interested in watching our thriller opening.

In conducting this research me and my partner may have to reconsider, the target audience that we appeal to. This is because the 20 and 21 years olds didn’t like the story line of our thriller opening.
