Our film is a thriller film in the theme of a noir film. Usually thrillers can attract audiences of teenagers and young adults, but our film aims to reach an audience of both male and female and the ages from 16-50. I say we want it to reach to an age of 50 because noir films are old and an older audience would appreciate the themes of a noir more than young teenagers.
Django Unchained, which had two leading characters about a German man who rescues a slave, the audience for that film was 36% 15-24 years old and 26% for 25-34 years old. This shows that both the younger and older generation care about films with themes that send a message and have action and suspense. This is what our film aims to do.
Also, with the main character being a woman, we hope this will attract more of a female audience to it when a lot of thriller films are very male dominated. This way, woman will be able to relate more to the main character. Last year, films with a male main character had more of a male audience, for example, Man of Steel's audience was 68% male and 32% female. Again, with Captain Philips which was an action-thriller, the audience was 69% male and 31% female. But films with a main female character tend to have a larger female audience. Frozen - which had two leading female characters - had a male audience of 34% and a female audience of 66%.
Therefore, we hope that by making our film with a leading female character, the genders in our audience will be fairly equal.
People would want to watch our film because the story is very similar to things like 'Batman' or 'Taken'. With Taken being so popular, this film will appeal to that audience as it's an action story about vengeance. A popular action film that's led by a female character is 'The Hunger Games' which has turned into a series of films which is loved by a lot of people. As our film is an action film which is led by a female character, we would hope that this film would be quite popular.
In conclusion, our films aims to reach quite a diverse audience. We hope with it having themes of noir as well as a female character will make audiences curious and go to watch it.
