A-LEVEL MEDIA STUDIES: Pre-production - Target Audience for Thriller genre


Target audience for the thriller genre from andrewgoldman21 

This research has influenced my ideas for a target audience for my film opening. I now know that my target audience is young working class adult males of a rough age range of 15-25 years old. This is as a result of the heavy action element that my film would entail had I the opportunity to film an entire movie. But as for the film opening, my ideas should link to this target audience as it it thrilling and one to watch with a group of friends in order to get the full Thriller experience.

A-LEVEL MEDIA STUDIES: Pre-production - Initial Ideas

INITIAL IDEAS of AS Film Opening:

  • Genre of a thriller therefore tense, unspectacular mood music is required to set the dark tone 
  • Plot ideas: A criminal on the loose and is hunting down those Detectives who captured him; Detective in his house listening to radio report about the escape by the criminal whom he helped incarcerate; he hears noises and fragments of a dark figure; he investigates around his house; the criminal is in his house and captures him 
  • Warner Bros. as production company as they have history of Thriller films
  • Cast and crew graphic titles before and during opening 
  • Possible titles, 'Hunted to Hunter', 'The Hunt', 'Remember me?'
