1. Our audience for the thriller are a niche audience of British 16-40 year olds as our independent British physiological thriller would appeal to them primarily as a target audience. As our thriller is a crime and sort of physiological thriller as it involves murder, crimes and a mysterious plot it appeals to an audience who enjoy thrilling, dark films. The thriller would appeal to an educated audience who enjoy narrative over plot rather than a high paced action film as ours in a slow physiological, inquisitive thriller rather than a high concept idea. It is a political conspiracy film which appeals to an educated adult market with many unanswered questions and mysteries in, we slowly draw the audience in. In many of the shots and editing we have tried to make them appeal specifically to our audience.
2. The first shot is of a person staring at a house front on, the cuts to his face from two different angles, both staring forward at the house inform an educated audience that the man is staring something or waiting for something to come from the building. The close up shot of his earpiece in correlation with the voice over, notify an educated audience that someone is telling this man to do something as is controlling him. Someone or something is coming out of the house and he is being told to do something to them.
3. After there is a cross-cut to a man and woman coming out of the house, an educated audience watching will realise that these are the people he is waiting for and that they are together, either married or dating, the touching of the back symbolises this. Another cut to the man shows that he is waiting for them as the camera pans round him, a gun is revealed, an educated audience will now work out that the man is waiting to shoot them and is being told by his controller to do this. Questions already form, why is he killing them? Who is the person telling him to do so?
4. The man and woman walking are getting closer to the car, giving him less time to assassinate them and the killers delay signifies his hesitance, this cross cutting with the people as they near the car increases tension. Questions are heightened as to why he is trying to assassinate them, who they are and who is talking in his ear, enticing our intelligent audience who will love the mystery.
5. As the assassin is walking towards the car, an educated audience will have easily realised by now what’s going to happen. Tension increases as the mystery man still hasn’t seen our killer, the cut to the close up of the gun shows in detail the kill and that the man has definitely been shot fatally and was meant to be shot.
6. After he killed him he gets on his knees and shoots himself in the head, this will be inquisitive for an intelligent audience who will start asking many questions from the opening sequence such as; why he has killed him, who is he, why did he kill himself and who is the person telling him to? At the end of the sequence we are left with more questions than answers, which our educated audience would enjoy as it is a mysterious and inquisitive film.
