Audiences are the different groups of people that a particular thing is aimed at. In the film industry there are many different audiences that they have to cut down in order to see what will fit their production the best. For example, some films may be targeted at Males, Females, Elderly people, youth, middle aged, Adults and so on. The target audience for a thriller film would usualy be aimed at adults because of the violent content and cover issues that would be unsuitable for younger children.
For example this thriller "knight and day" would be targeted more at women because of the romantic element to it. It could be argued that the target audienvce for this thriller would be males aswell because of the actor Tom Cruise who is usually tagged to films that are mainly aimed at males.
On the other hand this thriller "Taking of Pelham 123" is mainly aimed at males due to the language used and the violence that males would tend to enjoy more. This thriller is mainly a male cast and has lots of violence in it.
Producers keep all of these things in mind when they are making films so that they have a specific target audience who they are aiming the production at.
