Target Audience: 15-18 year olds. Our thriller film opening would engage our target audience as it tells a
different side of the story of a killer. But still expanding into an dark and gritty area of neo-noire cinema.
My film opening would appeal to the wide audience of people that consume thriller films and other similar
genres. It would fall under similar titles such as Sin City, American Psycho, Drive and LA Confidential.
My film would be produced by a company such as Regency Enterprises, Lionsgate Entertainment or more
realistically New Zealand Film Commission
I would then take my film to a distribution company. Mainly through vertical integration would I find this
company. Examples would include: Warner Bros, 20th Century Fox or again New Zealand Film
Commission
