1. Institution Research
By Tyrell Batchelor

2. I am going to be doing this research for my thriller film to cover:
1. How many thriller films were released in this period
2. How profitable the genre is
3. Which films were most successful (and why)
4. What are the characteristics of the audience for this genre
(age, gender, social class)
It is important to help me gather information on my audience to
produce the best thriller film possible looking at the positive and
negative aspects also looking at the mistakes and things done
well so I don’t incorporate it if it isn’t good.

There was a difference in 2012 as the
numbers of thriller movies produced was
only 61 but in 2013 it changed to 67 this
shows that more producers was inspired to
make more and that they was more
successful. But even though there was a lot
more films made the gross was more in
2012 then 2013 and there was more tickets
sold in 2012 that proves that the interest has
gone down in 2013 maybe suggesting that
they was getting tired of the same thriller
films. To fix this they could turn it into a
Hybrid films as thriller wasn’t as high in
rank compared to comedy or action.
Overall this is good news as when making
my thriller film I no there will be a good
audience for my film but I could even
increase it for e.g. making it a hybrid.

• These are the top 10 films
in 2013. As you can see
Gravity is at the top and
Side effect is at the
bottom. With the next
slides I will be talking
about why Gravity the
purge and Side effect was
successful. But this is a
print screen of the top 10
of this year.
Which films were most
successful and why

5. • Gravity is a hybrid thriller film as it contains elements of
Sci-Fi and Drama. Its about a medical engineer and an
astronaut work together to survive after an accident
leaves them adrift in space. The director of the film is
Alfonso Cuarón and stars Sandra Bullock, George
Clooney, Ed Harris. This film could be successful as it
has a high profile cast for e.g. Sandra Bullock and filmed
in 3D so most people would like to experience a film in
3D especially as its based in space
• The age rating for this film is 12A.

6. • The Purge is a Hybrid thriller film as it contains elements of Horror
and Sci-Fi. It is about In the future, a wealthy family is held hostage
for harbouring the target of a murderous syndicate during the Purge,
a 12-hour period in which any and all crime is legalized. The director
of this film is James DeMonaco he is also the writer and the film
stars Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Max Burkholder. This film could
be successful as it has a high profile cast for e.g. Lena Headey as she
has stared 300 and Dredd. The films was very smart as it consist
elements from saw with horror but made sure there was lots of
thrilling parts making it scary and exciting for the audience to see.
• The age rating is 15 so its going to be mostly teens watching this
film.
