Target audience and production company

Target audience

The target audience of "The Warrior Gene" will be in keeping with that of the majority of thrillers; and would be older teens to adults due to the use violence, taboo language and graphic violence. In keeping with BBFC regulations the rating would be about an 18 because it would contain very strong violence in some scenes, and particularly strong language which would be unsuitable for a younger audience. The reason this would be of more interest to older teens is because while it does display certain factors such as the aforementioned violence the plot focuses more heavily on the reasons behind the killer's actions- it's more psychological than action and thus requires greater thought and understanding than a straight out chase-and-fight scene thriller which would be heavy on the violence and skimping on the plot.(These are easier to follow but may become repetitive- something which may perturb a more adult audience). In short, the psychological element will have more appeal to an older audience.

 Production company

The choice of production company was easy enough: we chose New line cinema as we found that there previous productions had been quite successful- their filmography (within the thriller genre) includes:

• Se7en (1995)
• Snakes on a plane (2006)
• Hit list (1989)
• Dangerous ground (1997)

We feel that this production company would be effective in creating a high quality thriller film- and were this to be a serious production the popularity and recognisability of New Line Cinema would serve as a great advantage.
