I have recorded a voiceover our opening to be watched at the same time of our opening sequence as it explains some of our decisions and where we chose to go along with the codes and conventions of thrillers or not. I think our main challenge of the codes is our main twist towards the end of our thriller where we find out the killer is in fact a female, whereas typically it would be a male. We did this to make our story line unusual and memorable for our audience. We went along with the codes and conventions in most other areas such as the setting being an empty run down area, and weather is dismal and almost dark. This adds to the thrilling effect of the thriller and if it was bright, sunny and cheery it wouldn’t fit into the genre as well.

Before filming our thriller sequence we decided on a target audience and classification to the film. We used the 15 classification because we felt it is suitable for teenagers and people below 18 but thought it may be too thrilling or scary for small children. As the film is also physiological and has twists it would be hard for people below the age of 15 to understand the film and follow. We wanted our film to have a wide audience therefore it is suitable for any adult age, mainly between 15 and 40 we think it will be entertaining for any age in this range and these people will most want to watch it. I asked a range of ages to watch the opening to our thriller, and as the audience judge if they would want to carry on watching and why or why not they think it would be suitable for their age. I think this shows the wide range of people who can watch and enjoy it.
