LOCATION REPORT
For our film production we shall be shooting at a variety of different locations.
We shall firstly need to take some photographs of e-mail messages sent between Dark knight 24 and our niave victim girl Anna, for these images which we shall be creating ourselves, we will need access to a computer, here we will create a continuos flow of e-mails between the two, to be slipped into our film in different stages later on. We could possibly use the learning resource centre in college for this, and or or my laptop as it is glossy, black and could create a sense of evil and eerie.
We will also need a natural kitchen setting - for this we shall be using a group members house, to film Anna's morning routine, getting up, talking to mum, and leaving for school; this scene shall be shot in broad day light, with natural light flooding through and a very early monring chirpy feel - a complete contrast to the thriller genre... whilst on the other side of nowhere, contrastingly, the night before the attacker (me) shall rise from his slumber and the audience will get a view of his night time routine which involves, stalking Anna's pictures, sharpening knives and packing the weapons he will use to attack her later on in the story.
we also need a natural setting to film where the murder takes place, somehwere open and natural, which can add to the realism of our story plot and
so we can bring back the message, hard-hitting and eery - this could happen to you -
For another part of the story we shall need a dark and secluded alleyway where the stalking commences, these shots will hopeully be blended in to created a fast-paced tense and dramatic scene, luring the audience in and keeping the suspense high.

THRILLER GENRE TARGET AUDIENCE, AND TARGET AUDIENCE FOR OUR FILM
There are different audiences for different film types.There is a divide in the market that suggests that young people are most likely to watch the thriller genre, research suggest that 75% of thriller-viewers are 16-25years of age. The thriller genre tends to target a young-adult audience - young adults. however some argue that the indepth puzzle solving theme attracts older viewers (25+) all in all, the thriller genre appear to appeal to a wide range of people of all ages and backgrounds.
For our thriller film we shall be exploring audience types and looking at targeting people between the ages of 16-25 as it is to do with modern technology - chat rooms and social networking sites, and mostly because our characters are young teenagers and their antics - allowing a pathway for connection with the audience who we have chosen to target, relating more to my current generation (16-18).
Age could also be consider as some films appear to target males more than females, for example 2011 box office smash BLACK SWAN has an initial female audience appeal, as it is to do with ballet and dance however the tale itself is far more thrilling... Black Swan has user ratings from both males and females, on average 6.2 females have watched the movie whilst only 4.5 males have plucked up the courage, although i personally think its the mild lesbian reference has attracted the male viewers.
The majority of our target audience will be made up of students due to the age range of our thriller, and also due to the fact that around 75% of the thriller film genre is watched and consumed by young people aged between 16-25.The interests of our target audience are demonstrated mostly by other thriller films they like.
