This document summarizes a group project to create a psychological thriller film. It outlines that the genre is psychological thriller, with themes of reality, death, perception, mind, existence, identity, and purpose. Research was conducted on camera techniques like handheld camera shots. Alfred Hitchcock was also studied as an inspiration. The target audience is ages 15 to 34. Marketing plans include posters, magazine covers, and a teaser trailer. The brief synopsis is about a man who watches the world through his camera but doesn't see that the world is watching him.

4. Film ResearchWe looked at paranormal effect for the types of camera angles used and the layout of the film. We’ve decided that the hand held camera effect could be a good idea, as it will be easier with the resources at college. This technique gives us a wider range of camera angles in a single shot. We also looked at Alfred Hitchcock because he was one of the first directors to create thriller films and he was one of the most famous directors for this genre of film. He has produced some iconic films, such as Psycho and Rear Window. Looking through his work has increased our knowledge of this sub-genre and has given us inspiration for our own project.

5. Target Audience.Our chosen target audience is 15+ - 34years.The reason we have chosen this age range is because through internet research we have discovered that most psychological thrillers have at least a 15+ certificate.Through group discussions we have decided that mid 30’s is a reasonable end age range as most films are targeted at young adults rather than oap’s.

6. Marketing.We have decided to advertise our film through the use of posters and magazine covers.We are also going to make a website advertising our film as the web is popular to our target market as they grew up with this technology.

7. We are going to create a teaser trailer showing quick snippets of our film to gain our audience’s interest in our film.Brief synopsisNigel is watching the world through his camera lense, but what he doesn’t see through this is, whilst he's watching the world – the world is watching him.
