Target Audience

For our thriller opening we are looking to attract a teenage / young adult audience as this age group are most likely to be interested in the genre and are who watch more television compared to other audiences.

Se7en (1995)

The genre will attract our target audience due to other similar television programmes such as Midsomer Murders and CSI that are currently popular in they're genre. Films such as Se7en and Law Abiding Citizen are films i believe attract this current audience due to the violence in both films so we should look to learn something from both films and take features from the films aswell as similar films and corperate elements into the opening of our thriller.

Law Abiding Citizen (2009)

We will look to enage our audience by making the opening mysterious as possible by not giving any clues as to who the murderer is or why he is killing. The film will be shot near nightfall to help create an atmosphere and help to build the tension leading up to the murder. The shot types we use will also not reveal much of the murders identity, so shots will consist of close ups of things such as the murder weapon and silowette effect of the murderer. The opening will feature and character at walking alone at night time on a walkpath near a line off trees so this will enage the audience by putting them in the victims shoes and if done correctly scare the audience.
