Who was our target audience and how did we appeal to them?

The target audience for my production is both male and female people aged 16-45.
We chose this wide audience because through extensive research into the crime thriller genre it was hard to pinpoint a very specific age and gender range of the genre.
The genre appeals to the younger 16+ audience particularly the males because of the action and thrill the genre brings them. The older audience of around 25+ especially the females, enjoy the genre because of the psychological and realistic aspects of it.
We believe that our production has all the elements of a successful crime thriller, and we wanted to greatly appeal to all those of the genres convention.
So to appeal to this audience we needed to include a mystery in our production to entice the older audience and to include plenty of action to appeal to those of the younger generation.
Also to appeal again to the younger audience most of our cast were of their age range to bring in a sense of relatability.
