Individual Task - Sabrina

1. Step 2 - My ideas
By Sabrina Pinnu

2. 1)Detail on target audience Who are
they? What other media do they
engage with? (psychographic profile)The majority of people who has answered were females between the age of
17 and For psychographic profile, most people wanted to see ‘Horror’ and
‘Romance’ however we combined it into a ‘Romantic Thriller’ Genre overall.
Meaning we should target our genre towards teens and young adults. Most
people had chosen that by not having plans on a Saturday night was seen as
the main situation that they would likely experience.

3. 2)Genre of opening scene and
signifiers of this (discovered through
real media research-video of
audiences)
The genre of the opening scene will be a romantic thriller, this is because within a romantic thriller it usually consists of a couple in love or in
marriage, fighting and arguing which then turns into a mystery and ends with a cliff-hanger. However usually within a thriller movie it usually
consists of the protagonist fighting against the antagonist during a chain of bad events.
The questions we asked within our real media research were:
1)Which romantic thriller movies have you recently watched? and did you enjoy watching it? The main romantic thriller that has been recently
watched was ‘Gone girl’ this is because it was directed by David flincher and he cannot go wrong when filming. As well as they have read the
book before the film, as there was still some something new through visual style of the film, the way suspense was built slowly and gradually
though you still feel tense however as the audience you cant help whether you know the ending or not, but the audience feel drawn into a lot
more. This relates to a romantic thriller because there is some sort of twist even though the director makes the film to intense the audience to
make them want to watch more.
2)What do you expect to see in a romantic thriller? Romance, as we should have two leads who have chemistry to pull of the romantic relationship,
however it is not a rom com but we need to be disruptive about how we film and plan it. Or either two people who want to be together however
they cannot be together for various reasons because the situation can lead to something very dangerous. As well as a darkness within the film to
point out tension towards the audience.
3)Within the 4 clips, which one did you prefer and why? The girl with the dragon tattoo as it did not give away too much, very dark and builds up
tension which makes the audience want to watch the film. As well as warm bodies due to the comedy as it broke up the tension. However side
effect as well due to how interesting it is as we do not know what they are talking about therefore it makes it intriguing.
4)Where do you expect to see a Romantic Thriller? Especially in an urban area to create suspense, as well as it is good that we are based within
London as there are a lot of places which are urban.
1)What do you expect to see from the main character? For the main character to not be very dynamic, or who is very predictable we should make
it seem like it builds up a lot of tension to draw the audience in. As well as someone who is a bit of a risk taker. Lastly an underdog, as everyone
sees themselves as one.

4. 3)What are your audience expecting to
see?We decided within our group that we had chosen a ‘Romantic Thriller’ as our
Genre for our opening sequence. Due to the results, some people did not
mind seeing a particular gender for who the main character would be,
whether it being female or male. Furthermore it had shown that 55% of
people do not mind seeing a stereo-typical or counter-typical character.
Moreover the opening sequence is preferred to be both narrative and
character. It had also shown that the music was ‘mystery-esque’, this was
probably the best for our Romantic Thriller as it was the most popular choice
which was followed by Other music. For our location London was the most
popular choice, this would be perfect our as there is a wide variety of choice
and places that we could film our opening sequence.

simple yet appealing opening.
It starts with an establishing
