After deciding to rate our film '15' we then realised the main demographic would be men aged 15-22. These would fit In the Emulator group when based on their VALS. We would be looking to appeal to a slightly different type of person outside the mainstream and popular culture as our film would contain the sort of theme that may not be overly enjoyed or acceptable for the majority of the public.
Other Films: The films that our demographic would watch would be other psychological thrillers such as Cape Fear, American Psycho and Se7en. The likelyhood is that they would enjoy other genres due to their age. The main one of which could well be the new influx of cult American comedy films such as Anchorman, Tropic Thunder and the Clerks films
Television preferences: The TV they would watch would again i believe involve American comedy shows such as Scrubs and Two & a half men. These are sitcoms that are widely accepted as very funny by this age band. They would also enjoy American cult cartoons such as South Park and Family Guy. This generation enjoys outspoken and controversial programmes and would therefore watch these two shows. The 15-22's have also been known to enjoy more mature drama based shows such as House and Skins. House is enjoyed due to the psychology involved and the intellegence and charisma of Dr House where as skins is another programmed aimed at this particular demographic as it tries to show a realistic yet entertaining portayal of this group.
Musical preferences: In general the group that are likely to be attracted to our thriller would like more guitar driven rock music as appose to popular chart music. Our average fan would ideally enjoy anything from classic rock to heavy metal aswell as any alternative genres in between. These are generally the sort of music listened to by young people who also enjoy thriller films. This music often contains darker and deeper themes which are not disimilar to the ones portrayed in our thriller.
Note. These people generally enjoy their role outside of the norm so an ammount of pride and passion is placed into their values and opinions which makes the thriller genre a favourite. As thrillers contain themes that are often disturbing and ones that would not be acceptable outside the thriller film enviroment.
