"What I personally look for in thriller films are imaginative ways to create suspense and tension."
"However the most important feature of a thriller is keeping the audience guessing until the very end, and the aspect of mystery has been lost in formulaic sequences of many thrillers today. For that reason avant-garde and arthouse styles that push the boundaries and don’t follow the convention are the most thrilling."
That is an example from my market research into the teenage audience, my target audience is my own age group and they look for imagination in film, new ways to create thriller comventions, like tension and suspense.. The melding of genre in my opening is applicable to arthouse cinema and the more film savvy teenagers of that target audience. My film is tailored to the in-education and intelligent teenager+ (15 - 25s).
The opening is trying to adress those themes and ideas, upon viewing it Calum Sugett (anb audience research interviewee) stated,
"It adresses the ideas talked about by myself well, just needed more thriller elements, tension feels flat but mystery is most definitely purveyed."
I take this as a positive review and given more time would attempt to use more standard genre conventions in order ot appeal to a wider audience and appeal to my chosen audeince more.
