5. Target Audience –
We have decided to target our thriller movie to 15 year
olds because our survey showed that this is what most
people said they can see when we asked them on the
survey. We also know that for the most part that we
should base our movie on a crime thriller because this
was the most popular subgenre of thriller. We should be
basing our movie in the style of Shutter Island, Saw and
Taken because these are popular media movies.

reckoned with.
