We began our task by creating a questionnaire to help us make our choices. The questionnaire will be handed out to people of all the age groups we have on the questionnaire (question 2) and also be given to both male and females to help us work out who our target audience will be. The results from the questionnaire will be collected by a tally table so that we are able to see what options for each question is more for the target age so that it can appeal to them well and make it a good film to get the target audience eger to watch as it will be based in the majority of chosen options.

Target audience

To choose who we would have as our target audience we began to research the target audiences of the four thrillers we based our research and work choices on. This make us see that the research depended on the amount of horror and action elements that are included within the film. Eg. the Butterfly Effect and Gone were both a 15 and a psychological thrillers, these films contain very little violence and a lot of scenes that draw the views in psychologically due to being a psychological thriller. The other two films Panic Button and Taken include a larger amount of violence compared to the other two films which fits the genre of a thriller, this is why these two films are of the higher rating of 18.

When it came down to thinking of the ages for our film we choose to use the 15 rating for our film, this is because we are planning to base our film on the psychological thrillers ideas we have gotten from the films we have researched into. This was our final choice because the small amount of violence which was used wasn't as visible or graphic in the trailers of the psychological thriller than it was in the trailer for Taken or Panic Button. Ours will be based on them as we plan to use either little or no violence in our trailer.
