In the group that we are in, we created a questionnaire in which we hoped that people would take time to fill out in relation to us creating our Thriller opening sequence. I had the same age group fill out the questionnaire, which was the 15 - 18 age group; this is the type of age group that are targeted for out Thriller opening sequence.

On this scale, how would you describe the Physchological Thriller genre?
I intend to use this information to adapt how we create our thriller opening sequence in order to appeal to our target audience.
We will try to find an effective way to film our thriller but mainly in a home setting, I believe people may find this an interesting setting for a thriller because they would be able to relate to it on a more personal level rather than a cemetery. Thsi is because Thriller's are usuall filmed with a cemetery scene to create the eerie atmosphere; however we feel that in a home it will create an even more eerie atmosphere.
Whils planning,our group has discussed how we could approach the openign sequence and have considered perhaps filming a sequence of close-up shots showing a man getting ready on his way to work, making something very normal seem quite sinister. This was inspired by the opening sequence of an episode of 'Dexter'.
Good James. Perhaps you could comment on how you plan to make use of your Audience research in the planning stages of your opening sequence.
