The characters we used has a great significance on who will watch the thriller. As our target audience was people of the age 15-24, we decided to use a teenage girl as the main character. This is because the viewer is then able to relate to what is being shown, this also grabs their attention.

In the early stage of the production I did some primary research and asked our target audience some questions and filmed it, we asked them questions about what they would enjoy in a thriller movie, the video is linked below. I found through this that people like the murderer/ Villain in the movie to remain unknown because if they know who they are it’s not as scary and its more predictable. For this reason we ensured that the protagonist didn’t reveal anything to the viewer to ensure they remained unknown. I also found that our target audience would prefer the antagonist to be the strong male stereotype. This is because the audience find this more intimidating and scary, because if it was someone who was small and weak they wouldn't come across as intimidating.

Throughout our thriller we tried to put the audience in the victims and protagonists shoes as much as possible using POV shots using the shoulder mount, this makes the audience more connected throughout.

From learning the importance of sound and how effective it can be I knew that we should use it wisely in our thriller. The sound we used in our thriller played a big part to the final product, this was because we mainly used sound to build tension and without it wouldn't be thrilling and would most likely be boring. One example in our thriller where we used sound to engage my audience is when we used a subtle sound as the victim is walking closer towards the protagonist stood behind the tree. Another part of the film where we used sound to engage the audience is where we used sound to build tension when the victim (Katie) hides behind the tree and gets out her phone to call the police, this gives the viewer an idea that something is going to happen before it does and keeps them on the edge of their seat wanting to know what’s going to happen next meaning the viewer will be engaged and carry on watching to see what happens next.

After doing research into the content of thrillers and what age they were, I found that films rated age 18 tend to be more graphic and gory. This helped us come to the decision that we wanted our thriller to be an age 15, because we knew that our thriller wouldn't stage anything too graphic, and it would be made more thrilling by effects and sound and less physical violence however, it still wouldn't be suitable for someone under the age of 15.

Although our target audience was aimed at 15 to 25 year olds from primary research I found that our thriller would also be appealing to an older/middle age audience. This is because the thriller is portrayed as a mystery kind of movie as well as a thriller for the reason that in the full movie it would show the process of finding the girl/ finding out what happened to the girl, and people at an older age tend to take an interest in elements of mystery. But our film would be appealing for anyone who has an interest in thrilling movies.

As a group we decided that the age range for our thriller is 15 to 25 year olds, this is because the victim in our thriller is a lower class teenager and this means that the viewer will be the same age as the victim the protagonist is praying on, due to our thriller starring a lower class average teenager we thought that it would be a good idea to target this audience, this is because they will be able to sympathise with the movie because someone form there same background and age has been kidnapped/murdered. I don’t think that our thriller would be suitable for anyone under the age of 15, although the first few minutes don’t encounter a lot of physical violence due to us making it scary through effects and different angles. However there could be more physical violence throughout the film.
