2. Throughout our research we asked a variety of
people with different opinions on their likes and
dislikes, music they enjoy and what they enjoyed
watching in their spare time. This helped within
our research to find out what type of audience we
wished to target, we did this by getting them to fill
out a questionnaire asking what they like most to
see in thrillers and what their favourite choice of
genre was. We did individual audience researches
in order to generalise what target group we
wanted to aim our thriller at.

3. After the research stage, we gathered together
whatever data we had; from the questionnaires to
the audience profiles, and decided to take note of
what information we gathered in order to put
forward within our own thriller opening. We
wanted to attract a wider audience as
possible, however we knew our initial target
audience would be that of a younger generation
e.g. teenagers and young adults, as we would be
able to relate to that type of audience better.

4. All our ideas were brought together within the
filming process, therefore the different social
groups we had asked to fill in our questionnaires
and create audience profiles on, their ideas became
crucial within developing as we took on board
what they had to say in order to create our
protagonist and the feel of the mise-en-scene, for
example the candles in the opening. We felt our
final piece represented the younger generation.

5. Our media product clearly demonstrates that of a
lower class male within our main protagonist. We
created this character with a costume of
trainers, black pants and a dark hoody, in which
the hood is worn over the head, adding to the
mystery of our thriller. The stereotypical use of a
hoody represents young
youths/teenagers, incidentally relating back to our
target audience. The close up shots of the young
protagonist creates an enigma, as it hides their
identity as only parts of him/her are shown and
they are never fully exposed to the audience.
