1. Social groups represented throughout the thriller
 GENDER STEROTYPE:The stereotype of what a woman should be is being
challenged as the police officer is female and not taking care of kids or doing light
domestic work at home, she’s part of the police force and deals with violence,
brutality and vulgar language on a daily. Her being part of the police challenges
the stereotypes as men are usually seen as the ones who arrest and are part of
the dangerous action and in normal police scenes there's men who handle the
prisoners however she's the only one meaning that she doesn’t need help or be a
man to arrest someone as she has equal strength and has done it herself.
 Police woman has no cleavage shown this challenges the stereotype that all
women wear seductive clothing, bright makeup and dresses/skirts. She
challenges those stereotypes by wearing trousers, buttoned up shirt and no
makeup breaking ideals of women wanting to look nice for men.
 This character is opposite of being passive she's not what society views women
which is why this character would appeal to women who are feminists and agree
that women are equal to men. This character also doesn’t mind getting dirty she's
using her force to stop the prisoner she's not afraid to break a nail or ruin her
hair which challenges the stereotype of women worrying about little things and
being materialistic.

2. Social groups represented throughout the thriller
 Stereotype of gender is conformed in our thriller as we have the protaganist which is male
who has to save the daughter which is female it shows the reliance of women on men to
save them which was done purposely as it would have been more eye catching and
interesting for the audience to see a woman in despair instead of a man as it would make
them emphasise with the female protagonist as she’s kidnapped
 However our female Protagonist (daughter of detective) she conforms to the stereotype of
women wanting to impress men, she’s wearing makeup, a dress and shows her curves for
men to see this creates her the centre of attention which creates her as a target for men
 Social groups represented in our thriller are teens, adults, criminals, single parents these
are all portrayed so that the audience can relate to them characters and emphasise with
them
 The animation on the logo could appeal to teens as they are familiar with technology and
such animation of a glitch can intrigue them and appeal to them as they have encountered
a glitch at least once Single working parent Teenager

3. How we attract our Target audience
 Modern teen is our protagonist this can relate to our target audience of 18+ as they are teens/ were
they can relate to them having to go to parties at dark and how scary it can be walking alone,
additionally they can relate to themselves wanting to impress boys and wanting to look good. The
protagonist has a phone and is quite modern which can relate to our audience who are native in
technology as they were brought up with it, additionally teens are seen as forgetful so they will be
able to relate to them which is why our protagonist reaches our target audience of 15-18+
 We have a detective which is also the protagonist this will attract older audiences aged 21-40 due to
them having children themselves and knowing how hard it is to raise a child on their own,
additionally they will relate to the film and character as they know how worried they would be if
their child was taken/ not come home. This character shows maturity which appeals to adults as
they are more wise which can make them relate to the character as they know how it is to worry
about someone and how much responsibility they have over such teen.

4. Camera Angles, shots and movement Mise en scene
Costume: Detective has his suit on this suggests
his working class and his maturity as a character
which shows his status of being higher than a
labour worker
Girl: her attire is more modern a white dress, a
bomber jacket and jordans for her shoes, this
clothing conforms to the stereotype of women
wanting to impress men as she’s showing skin,
her legs are seen her dress has cuts on the side.
This will appeal to teenagers as they wear such
clothing
PROP: Phone: this conforms to the
stereotype that teens cant get of their
phone, the audience we target are digital
natives so they will be able to relate to
such character
Setting:Roads in the evening where its getting
darker, open space, not much people walking
past which conveys thriller genre of something
happening in a peaceful area
Close ups reveal the emotions on the
characters faces which can make the
audience emphasise with the
characters and their situation they
are in this reveal their facial
expression which thrillers show as
thrillers have scenes based on bad
things happening to people and
seeing how they cope
Side mid shot on antagonist which
doesn't reveal his face which
keeps the enigma and an
atmosphere of mystery as we
don’t see his facial expression only
hear his voice
Long shot on character this
makes the audience focus on
whats around her which clue
can be placed around her e,g.
the camera shot is someone
looking at her/ peaking though
wall so they are hidden
suggesting that someone is
following her

5. Non diegetic sound of soundtrack ‘No games by
semz & Zino’ –copy right free which is what the
audience hears when the girl is putting in music this
emerges the audience as they would focus more on
the surroundings of the character as something
could happen.
Diegetic sound of boot slamming: creates an effect
of realism as its not over amplified or too loud it
matches with the last scene.
Non diegetic sound: the footsteps, doors opening,
file on table such sounds added immerse the
audience as they can hear the little things which will
make them focus more due to them hearing more.
Such non diegetic sound such as the piano at the
begging scene allow greater effect of gripping the
audience to their seats as they are able to hear
sound that corresponds with the scenes which is
what most thrillers have to get the audience focused
such as ‘Taken (Morel,2008)
Dialogue: As little dialogue as possible this is what
thrillers consist of in the beginning minutes of film,
they use more visual line to get the audience more
wary of what is happening around the characters
Sound: Editing:
Continuity editing allows the thriller to have pace
and make the audience seem as if they are part
of the thriller, this allows the audience to relax
and focus more on what is happening if the
scenes flow more rather than jump which could
confuse some audiences.
Editing of gradient and colour correction, as the
nature of a thriller is darker themed scenes we
altered the main colour of our thriller to darker
and more blue to represent the night, this creates
enigma and mystery of the night
Shot reverse shot emerges the audience as if
they were speaking to the character, this will
make the audience focus on the film as they are
in the perspective of the character and are able
to see the emotions/ response from the other
character.
The title and distribution logo is conforming to
the thriller conventions as they have a mysterious
animation on them it glitches which gives a sense
of mystery which suits the atmosphere
