Target Audience- Research

This is a video of our group interviewing different people to get an idea of our target audience, we asked the following questions;
  • How old are you?
  • Do you like Thrillers?
  • What do you expect to see in an opening of a Thriller?
  • What is your favourite Thriller film?
From our responses, we now know our target audience ranges from  teenagers to adults as thrillers are appealing to many different age groups as well as both genders (otherwise known as a mass audience). However, some of the content in our trailer such as; violence and scenes of a disturbing nature are inappropriate for children- consequently, we've decided to give our trailer an age certificate of 15.

I shall talk about age certificates later.

Location Shots

These are location shots where are Thriller will be set. We have chosen this location as it is isolated and near a woods which gives the connotations of danger and implies something bad may happen.

Typography




These are a selection of possible fonts that I will use for titles and credits in my Thriller opening. I have found these fonts on this website under the section 'horror'. All of the titles above give the connotations of horror and thriller.

Editing

I designed and edited this image of myself to reflect the emotion of 'isolation', using an overlay of two images, saturated in colour and added text. I may use these editing techniques in my thriller opening.

Title Experiments

This is a title experiment I created, I used the programmes Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere. I have decided not to use the smoke effect as it is more than often associated with Action films rather than Thrillers.

Titling Activity

This is evidence of us practically experimenting with titles in Adobe Premiere. I will later on use this skill in my Thriller Trailer.
