Thriller is a popular genre for film within mainly young adults aged 18-25. This is because people this age are usually drawn in by the intense story lines and graphic action, which is commonly seen within the thriller genre. Unraveling the narrative as it plays out in the film, and working it out whilst watching the films attracts older audiences them to this specific genre. As a result of this, people who go to watch thriller films, will want graphic action and an intense storyline which most films of the thriller genre have developed on over the years from Hitchcock.
Different genres of the thriller genre appeal to different ages and audiences. For example, a horror film would be more directed at the developing ages of young adults such as 16-20 year olds and it is also directed at people who like story lines which induce jump scare. For example, psychological/crime thrillers such as Se7en and Silence of the Lambs attract a male dominated audience of the typical young adult age. This is because they’re drawn in by the conventional male leads, and can relate certain characters to people they know or even themselves by the use of stereotypes that are expressed by the conventions of the film.
The target audience for a normal thriller film will always want a regular start for everyday life but then progress into something which is impacted negatively. This is something that an audience now expects as many films now use this intro-storyline and many people will have gotten used to having it in their thriller viewings.
Target audiences expect to be thrilled to the edge on many action themed genres of thriller, this is evident in the film industry as the James Bond films are directed to be as action packed as possible to meet the expectations of the audience who will view their film and to make them be pleased with the most recent Bond film as if they were with the previous ones and that they aren't let down.
One of the conventions which the audience expect to see when watching films from the thriller genre is for the antagonist to have something which belongs to the protagonist which is used against him. This is used in the television series of Under the Dome where the main antagonist has an "egg" which will lead to everyone's freedom from the dome.
From the information I have found from my research into the film industry, the production process and the types of genres there are in the thriller film. I was able to produce the information and theory on what the audience expects from the types of genres in the thriller film. As a result this will help us when it comes to the creation of our narrative, plot and types of characters and their mentality during the opening of our thriller. This will also help us in our decisions for how we can make the plot and narrative to be similar to other types of thriller films in the box office and to meet the expectations the audience of our thriller opening will have.
