Anchor Bay Films produced the 2010 thriller film "13" starring Jason Statham and directed by Géla Babluani. The film is about a game of Russian Roulette. The target audience is those aged 16 and older who enjoy darker, more realistic films without heavy special effects. While this particular student film had a low budget due to using school cameras and few extras, commercially released thrillers of this genre typically have multimillion dollar budgets to cover travel, large crews, CGI, locations, and other production elements.

3. ANCHOR BAY FILMS
• They produced the film 13.
• It is about Russian Roulette and it is set in a way in which they are
also being forced to play.
• Our thriller was about Russian Roulette and the characters were
also being forced to play.
• It stars Jason Statham and was directed by Géla Babluani. A trailer
was released in August 2010.

4. TARGET AUDIENCE
• In my opinion the target audience is aimed at people of the age of
16 and above.
• Our thriller has quite a mature theme, Russian Roulette is very dark
and too much for someone who is 14, for example.
• Both men and women will be aimed at. However, probably more men
as it is stereotypically more of a ‘mans’ film. This is more likely
towards the action part of the film as this is what men tend to enjoy
more in a film.
• People who like more ‘real’ films would be aimed at more as it is
quite a dark theme with minimal special effects and CGI.
• The only special effects that will be used are for the gunshot.

5. BUDGET
• Quite a low budget film.
• Not many extra expenses needed.
• The most expensive and technical things used were the cameras, as
they are facilitated in our school.
• However, films of this type made for cinemas will normally have a
high budget due to travelling, crew, CGI, locations and other things.
• Hollywood thrillers will most likely have a budget of at least 5
million (USD) e.g., memento, a very popular thriller had a budget of
5 million (USD).
