The Perfect Audience Member To Our Film

We deduced that our film would target an audience aged 17 to 65, due to the fact that it is less action-packed and more about the intellect and deductive reasoning powers of a detective.

This audience would be predominantly male, as the (male) characters are more relatable for them than for females.  However, the young assistant could attract a female audience to the film.

To specify the thriller to a tribe would be associating it with the "rahs" and "indies".  These groups are generally more culturally aware and interested, watching more niche or foreign films than other tribes.  The background of these tribes is usually upper-middle to upper-class, people who have more time to be interested in these niche films.

Musically, our thriller appeals to people with a more classic new-era taste.  Soft rock, folk and country songs appeal to the audience.

Based solely on the fact that it is a detective/mystery thriller, the TV dramas that the target audience may be interested would be Sherlock, Breaking Bad, and The Wire.

Their classical taste, with an interest in more niche projects, means that the audience would like films such as the James Bond films, The Godfather films, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Joyeux Noel, Life is Beautiful, and Gangs New York.  Mainly historical and gangster films on the mainstream spectrum, with European independent films such as The Girl Who Played With Fire or Let The Right One In.

Some examples of films the target market might want to see in cinemas now are Lincoln, Broken City, Gangster Squad and Skyfall.  Apart from these, they may visit art house theatres such as The Electric Cinema in London.

A few hobbies/subjects that would pique the interest of these people would be reading, photography, art, museums and theatre.  Their style would be classical and aware, not trendy.

Probably professions of the target market would be professors, teachers, people involved in theatre/film, retirees, journalists, writers, law enforcement, or even students.
