Institutional Detail
We’ll make our own one, something to do with the college
Supposed to be a low budget film, so it would have a fairly small production company
Audience DetailThe target audience for our thriller film is for boys aged 16 and above. This is because we believe that the content would be more sorted for them as it would have an element of action as well as methodical thinking.We felt that this age would be most appropriate because most popular thriller films are set to this age such as
Bond series Mission Impossible Series The Bourne SeriesThe only difference with our thriller is that main character is female. This is because we think that the character will be able to attract a male audience to watch it.
