Justifying our ideas for our thriller via. audience research.

From our audience research we were able to see that most of the people within our target audience preferred to have:

Interesting opening credits

Nice establishing shots

Something that introduces the story

Nothing should be too simple

Cool opening effects

Story should be not too simple

Opening music should be good

Music should be suspenseful

It shouldn’t be too inactive

Something should happen

There should be lots of confusion

It should be really smooth

The plot should be clever

The music should have something to do with the rest of the film

There should be something impressive right from the start

It should grab your attention

From this we were able to see that with our thriller introduction it would be important to include things like this in it. For the titles we decided on two ideas. One of them was where we would cut out letters from the newspaper headlines and place them onto plain paper in order to make them look like some ransom notes connoting the style of this thriller and what pending threat lurks around for the main role. The other idea was for images of everyone who starred in this thriller to be stuck into a black note book and for information about this person along with large versions of their names to be placed in it. I feel that idea one for opening credits would be the most effective. We do not want it to seem too simple either which is why we are using the use of flashbacks and having no narrative should make the audience think about the film and what is happening in it. We decided on using a tense style of music for this film which we will create using GarageBand on the mac's. This should be able to convey the ideas and soon-to-be-seen effects of the thriller. One of the first shots that we have in our thriller opening is the waterfalls, this should be an impressive and attention seeking shot as people will see this and revieve the idea of calm feelings from the beginning, being a thriller film all is not calm for too long so this would hopefully make the audience want to continue watching unti they figure out what is happening.
