Audiences

Audiences watch thrillers to entertain themselves and experience spontaneous elements of life that may not occur to them such as horror. Thrillers can consist of different varieties like mysteries, super hero action films or a puzzle. There are even documentary thrillers like Kidulthood which portrays tennagers life style in London. Because there are different varieties of thrillers it attracts different range of audiences for example, Kidulthood would appeal to teenagers over 15 and young adults because it relates to teenagers strongly and young adults could learn about different teenagers life styles in London. When a thriller relates to a specific audience, it would attract a large proportion of the audience. For example Kidulthood relates to many teenagers and most of their target audience are teenagers over 15 and for young adults. London is a globally international city. Once the audience sees the promotion of the film through adverts, they will recgonise London which will grasp the attention of the audience instantly and will lead to people telling other people about the movie which promotes the film and increases the hype about the film further so that it is known worldwide. Audiences also watch thrillers to escape from their own personal problems and can play a 'Detective' role in a mystery thriller as they will play a role in doing their own investigation or interpreting what will possibly happen in the film. This will certainly occur in police series like The Bill where the audience are highly likely to be engaging with the show by doing their own investigation during the drama.
