(We asked two females and two males to get a balanced view on what both genders thought about our production)

ß By asking our intended audience, through questionnaires, what type of music they expect to be played within a thriller film this enables us as a group to look at our results and aim to meet their expectations. While enabling us to give them the thriller opening to a standard they would expect.

ßThe two main options chosen to build up an atmosphere for a thriller were special effects and sound effects. As a group we aimed to focus on these points to create the perfect thriller for our intended audience. How we did this was to create different types of lighting effects such as the following below:

  

We also included a vast amount of different camera shots from point of view to high angled to low angles shots to create different atmospheres for different periods of our thriller opening.

We also included a fade together of two shots at the ending of our thriller opening. We found this very effective as it showed of our attackers body language blended in with our victims face.

As our intended audience answered a question on which they thought the typical victim of a thriller would be, the most popular answer ticked was a woman. Therefore, our opening to a thriller sticks to there expectations.

The representation of the wording of the bible contents and the precise words aimed to be shown to the viewer, will hopefully aim to address our intended audience. This is due to the fact that we took inspiration from the film ‘seven’ which storyline if situated around the seven deadly sins. Whereas, we are aiming our storyline to the Ten Commandments, especially focusing in on ‘thou shall not kill’. This is due to the fact our main character is a religious control freak whoever, he is the attacker in our storyline. This therefore, plays on the mindset of the viewer as to how can he worship God and reckon he is a ‘Disciple’ of God, when he is going against the teachings of God. This is why we have chosen ‘Disciple’ as the name of our thriller opening.

This screenshot above from our thriller opening will hopefully aim to attract our intended audience, due to the fact it’s disturbing, intriguing and captivating. Once you will have seen this clip you will want to watch on to see what exact reference it has to the overall storyline.

The credits we produced for our opening are of a religious theme. The titles are placed on bible styled paper with religious images and bible font writing. We aim to attract our intended audience as religion plays a big aspect in some people’s lives. It is a wonderful but scary world outside our universe and can be very mind confusing to some. However, will have a big impact on our viewer if we can get the rawness and freaky side of it that needs to be portrayed to give of the real feel to our main character the religious control freak.
