Media pitch - By Emma, Katie, Mindaugas & Zak
The document outlines a group's media pitch for a psychological thriller opening sequence. It will follow a male protagonist who wakes up in a ransacked room, struggling to remember what happened through distorted flashbacks. Themes of paranoia, jealousy, and mental instability will be portrayed. Castlefield House will be used for filming bedroom and office scenes. The sequence will start by introducing the protagonist and setting, then use flashbacks to reveal past events, building tension until a climactic cliffhanger at the end.
Target audience
The document discusses the target audience and elements of an original transmedia story (OTS) that would appeal to them. The target audience is males aged 15-35 from middle-class backgrounds. The OTS genre of madness and paranoia will leave the audience with unanswered questions and a desire to see how the plot concludes. Characterization and plot elements that allow the audience to relate to the main character will increase engagement. Camera techniques, dialogue, editing, and gore-filled mise-en-scene will create fear and confusion, pleasing the horror genre audience.
Evauluation task 5
We attracted a wide audience by featuring a female hacker as the lead character, appealing to women by subverting expectations, while also including exciting and violent elements to engage men. Within the first two minutes, a death grabs male attention to draw them into the thriller plot. An attractive female hacker and references to WikiLeaks attract those interested in technology and current events.
Narrative enigmas in trailers
The document discusses narrative conventions in action thriller movie trailers. It notes that trailers typically follow a chronological order until a climactic turning point, then become faster-paced and non-linear while still building to reveal the main enigma. Trailers employ both unrestricted narrative, giving audiences clues, and restricted narrative, keeping some details unknown to create enigmas. Enigmas are crafted through fast editing leaving questions and using flashbacks that require the audience to piece together an incomplete story.
Titles & credits convention research
Titles are shown briefly at the beginning of trailers and include the film name and production company. Credits are shown at the end and include important details like the cast, social media links, and quotes. Titles introduce the story and characters while credits acknowledge everyone involved in the film's production. Both aim to inform audiences and attract interest, with titles building mystery and credits thanking the cast and crew.
SJFO - Polldaddy survey screenshots
The document discusses the results of a survey about audience preferences for thriller film openings. The survey was conducted to help plan an appealing opening sequence for a target audience of 15-17 year olds. Key results included that flashbacks, low key lighting, eerie music, slowly unfolding stories, suspense, tension, and some scares were popular elements. Psychological thrillers, horror, and crime thrillers also appealed to respondents. The group plans to incorporate the most popular elements from the survey into their opening sequence to engage their target demographic.
Target Audience
The target audience for the film is teenagers aged 15 and older, as the film features kidnapping and violence that may not be suitable for younger viewers. While the film features teenage characters, it is not expected to appeal to those over 30. The film features female heroines and may attract more female viewers due to breaking the stereotype of male heroes. The film could appeal more to working class audiences seeking escape compared to upper class audiences, but race and ethnicity are not targeted features.
Audience research
The target audience for thriller films is diverse but certain subgenres appeal more to certain demographics. Urban thrillers attract young teenagers who relate to the characters, while horror films skew a bit younger and more female. The age of characters can also draw in certain audiences. Audiences generally like thrillers for their exciting scenes and because they create suspense and tension through elements of the soundtrack, setting, lighting, and location. For a film trailer, the target audience is ages 15 and up since it contains violent scenes and strong language only appropriate for teenagers.

- 1. Blog entry 4 The target audience and who it is aimed at. Target audience: An primary/specific group of people expected to buy an particular product’/service. By: Lisa Tran
- 2. Our audience Our teaser trailer will be aimed at adults, 18 years old and over as well as teenagers who enjoy films with action and suspense. We came to this conclusion by looking at similar films and also films that were thrillers to see their target audience to help us decide. We believe it will appeal to many people of different ages as long as they enjoy elements of suspense and action in films as well as interesting twists in the plots.
- 3. Our audience continued.. I believe that gender and class/ethnicity will not effect the target audience but the audiences interest will effect the target audience the most. For example a more adventurous teenager/adult will be excited for a thriller/action film whereas a more timid teen/adult will look forward to a romantic comedy. It will depend on the persons interests as some people will be less excited to watch a film which contains violence and tension ect… whilst people that enjoy thrills and adrenaline rushes will likely enjoy fast action/thriller films.
- 4. How we will attract our target audiences… We will use camera shots such as close ups to intensify the characters emotions. This will help make the audience feel the adrenaline rush that the characters are feeling therefore draws them into the film. Dark colors and low key lighting will enable the atmosphere of the whole scene/film to be more effective as the audience will be more on the edge of their seats. Low key lighting will make it mysterious ect.
- 5. The type of people it will appeal to
- 6. In general I believe that our film will appeal to a vast majority of the public except some elderly and young children. Firstly because it is not aimed at those age groups and further more this film will probably be shown during the evening and onwards towards the late night therefore not appropriate for the younger teens and elderly. Because it is marketed at people who will either work during the day or go to college/university during the day. We hope to attract the audience by making sure that we will make the scenes exciting e.g low key lighting, this will mean thriller/action film lovers will be attracted to our movie. The code and conventions we will use is that usually in thriller movies the characters, especially the evil character is dressed in very dark dull colors so that the audience can extinguish the bad vs good. This will not only help the audience understand the story faster but also make it more mysterious. People who live active life styles that enjoy thrills will want to see the movie because it can bring a element of what they like/enjoy. For example people who like funfairs (scary rides) ect will love thriller films. The gender that will be attracted is equal since it is their interest and personality that will effect the most.
