The document discusses the target audience for a film called "Thanatos". It aims the film primarily at 15-year olds and older due to graphic violence and language. However, one particularly dark scene would not be appropriate even for 15-year-olds. As a result, the film rating would need to be changed to 18+. A typical target audience member is also described as a white, middle-class male college student who enjoys thriller films and socializing with friends through activities like skating and camping. Additionally, "moshers" are identified as a niche target audience since they enjoy non-mainstream media.Target audience

Thrillers involve a battle between justice and injustice that often results in consequences. They are films of suspense that reinforce elements of pursuit and chase. Thrillers can take many forms but commonly involve a growing sense of threat and the excitement of pursuit. They are usually shown from the protagonist or villain's point of view to generate empathy or guilt. Events allow the audience to second guess what will happen but explanations are never complete to maintain mystery and build suspense. Typical roles include a helpless female in need of rescue and a male hero battling the situated evil through revenge or anger.
