Profile for one of my target audience & how I will cater to them

This is just a profile of what ONE of the thriller movies would ideally be like, so what I believe are the characteristics and traits that the majority of female thriller movie watchers have and share. I understand that this is a representative of all.

Name : Madison (completely random name)

Age : 16 - 35 is the target age audience for thrillers, so an average age of 24/23. 

Personality traits : Intelligent, focused, likes a challenge.
 I know a thriller audience would have these traits because of the fact thrillers generally are mind game type of thrillers which require a lot of thinking and understanding.

Social class: Middle class/high class (although I believe that you don't have to be any specific class to watch a thriller film, like in the comment I made above, I believe that you would have to be of a higher intellect to fully understand the thriller films which can be associated with the class your in)

What they do with their spare money: People within this target audience I would believe are more smart with their money and would prioritize what they spend their money on, so for example, they would spend it on things such as rent, healthcare and food first and then luxuries such as going to the cinema or buying a thriller DVD. To add on to that, the fact I believe people within this target audience are stable and intellectual I would also believe they purchase things such as books, laptops and take a lot of time through their day to go on a walk or gym.

What would my audience expect?: My audience (this particular person) would expect a film that would give them a bit of a mind-challenge and would also give them that shock factor - this being provided in most thriller films, being known as 'the big twist'. They would want to be kept interested throughout the film, therefore the film would also need to be action-packed.

How I would cater to this individual? : I would cater to my audience's needs of this by keeping the film action packed and also provided a big, unexpected conclusion at the end. I would make my film hard-hitting and memorable by also having an ending which is the complete opposite of what people would expect. To add on to that, I will include a flashback in the very beginning of the film - which will be my opening sequence - which will be of the part where the little girl (Caprice) get's missing. This will be effective as in the very beginning it will be very action-packed, thus, the audience would want to watch further on. The audience would also want the film to be somewhat relate-able, I will do this by having actors who are in age group between the ages of the target audience age (16 - 35).
