1. Target audience
JAMIE KING

2. Who?
 The target audience for our upcoming thriller movie is males and females
in the age brackets of sixteen up to the age of twenty-five.
 The reason why we haven’t chose a young audience is because if we chose
a too young of an audience they might find some elements distressing and
older people might find too violent.
 The reason why we are choosing this specific target audience is because
with the best selling thrillers such as the Fast and Furious film series, they
have contain fast paced editing and graphic visual effects which the
younger population would find exiting.
 Overall, for these various reasons, we believe that our target audience fits
perfectly for our chosen genre of movie.

3. Story line
 What makes a thriller a thriller is the use of suspense, tension and
excitement being held on throughout the film. Throughout the film the
suspense will build up until the peak.
 A typical story line is that something bad will go wrong and then someone
or a group of people will go out to fix it.
 Commonly there is a lot of action which is why our target audience will
enjoy it.
 Males of the ages bracket sixteen up to the age of twenty-five will want to
see fights and be held in suspense. They want to see things go wrong.

4. Camera work
 In a thriller there will be a lot of master shots showing the action
throughout the thriller. This appeals to our audience as they will want to
see all of the action. They want the screen to be busy with action which will
keep their attention.
 Furthermore there will be the use of crane. A crane will be used to reveal
secrets throughout the thriller. This will reveal secrets which will further
create suspense.

5. Editing
 There will be a use of parallel editing which means two story lines can run
simultaneously. This appeals to our target audience as it means suspense
can be built up as two story lines will become to fit together as well as
keeping them thinking throughout.

6. Sound
 There will be a lot of sound effects. This means we can add interesting and
enhanced sounds in which we couldn’t do during the filming period. This
appeals to our target audience as the sounds will be interesting, for
example an explosion. Furthermore, using sound effects can alter what we
want the audience to hear meaning we can keep them interested.

7. Mise-en-scene
 There will be a continuous change from low-key and high-key lighting.
During the parts of the film where everything is good and up beat there
will be high key lighting. However during the story line where the plot is
bad and negative there will be a use of high key lighting. This keeps the
audience interested as each scene will be different meaning they will be
focused on each different scene.

8. Characters
 There is always an agonist and antagonist. This gives a constant contrast of
the film narratives as well as seeing two different point of views. This
interests our target audience as they will be able to understand both
contrasting sides.
