Storyboard

This is my story board for my thriller. I think it quite clearly explains what will happen.

Questionnaire

I decided to make a questionnaire to help me understand what my target audience would like to see in a thriller. I gave 10 questionnaires out to my target audience.

1.    Are you :

Male ☐   Female ☐

2.    What is your all time favorite thriller? And why?

3.    Who is your favorite thriller actor/actress?

4.    What is your favorite genre of thriller? E.g. action thriller.

5.    Who is your favorite thriller director?

6.    What makes a good thriller?

7.    What type of music should be in a thriller?

8.    What do you usually expect to be in a thriller?

Preliminary Task

We did a prelim task to make sure we know how to use all the sofware and how to use the camera. We had to copy a short sequence as accurately as possible. we used a tripod to film the majority of it.
The group I was in had there footage lost so had to use another groups footage. 
We then used some software called final cut pro. I will be using this to make my thriller. It took us a while to learn how to use Final Cut Pro as the majority had never used it before.  

Basic Plot

There is a girl getting ready, tying her hair up in her bikini. She walks out of the bathroom into the pool and puts her stuff down on the side and her ipod in the speaker. She then gets in the swimming pool.
It is then shown that a man is watching her from a balcony into the pool house. He watches her get in to the swimming pool and swim lengths.
She then gets out of the pool and walks to the shower, not realizing that the man is on the stair case. He then follows her into the shower, she screams and it is assumed that he has murdered her.

Target Audience

From my research so far I have found that the majority of Thriller films have been rated '15' if they are a Horror thriller and the action adventure thrillers have been rated a '12'. But then there are thriller films like Taken that have been rated an 18 as it is quite graphic and has a lot of violence and very adult themes.


My thriller will most likely be a '15' rated film so my audience will most likey be from 15 upwards. It will have the right themes and types of editing and it wont be grousome so therefore it will be alright to rate it as a '15'.
