1. Question 4
Who would be the audience for the thriller?
Next big blockbuster
Another marvel
comic character
Other movies- same
genre
Famous director
associated with specific
genre
I think Empire magazine would be most likely to carry reviews and adverts for my thriller film. This is
because Empire magazine covers almost every genre (apart from female based genres such as rom-
coms and period dramas). The magazines target audience are males who are interested in the next
big blockbuster, you can see this from the March 2013 edition above. It consists of the brand new
Marvel comic film being associated its sister comic Batman) this film magazine obviously know their
audience, and understand them well enough to put information such as “superman gets the
darknight treatment” on the front cover. The thriller genre is also stereotypically targeted for the
male gender, due to the level of violence etc. This is also why it would be the best suited magazine
for my thriller. The age range of my thriller would also be similar to that of Empire Magazine roughly
early twenties to mid thirties.

2. Potential review of Femme fatale in Empire magazine
Plot
When she broke up with him, she never thought he would go that far… this year’s summer hit has
been described as “Plain creepy but superb” and “A silky smooth thriller!”
Jamie (Katie Mckenna) is overwhelmed by her paranoid boyfriend (James York), who accuses her of
cheating. Not realising his hidden agenda she leaves him after a furious argument. But he just can’t
get over her, murdering everyone who gets in his way to get her back.
Review
Unlike most gritty, dirty, bloody thrillers, Femme Fatale has an air of opulence to it, more
sophisticated and mind bending. What starts with a simple (yet effective) opening, setting the
scene to what looks like another slasher thriller, ends with a twisted conclusion to why Simon (York)
is so obsessed with his ex. Like Se7en and Inception, Femme Fatale is an awkward film to discuss
without giving to much away but still putting the story across. The film immerses the viewer into
the intimate lives of the characters through from the continuous flash backs, distant memories and
realistic fantasies produced from their minds, like the strange journal, tagging every move Jamie
makes, plotting a mentall map of her life, spreading the thoughts on to paper because the mind is
too small to hold it all.
