The definition of a thriller:
Thriller films have become increasingly more popular over recent years due to the tension and mystery they provide to their audience. Thrillers have always been a genre of film, ever since film began but they started to become more popular in the 1980s. In the 1990s psychological thrillers became the most common type and had recurring elements of obsession and being trapped. They're named psychological thrillers because the conflict between the main characters is usually emotional and mental, including psychological issues and a lot of violence. They also play with your mind and make you really think about what's happening, even once the film has ended. These are usually rated at an 18 as some of the events and issues can be very disturbing, giving younger viewers nightmares and could leave them mentally unsettled for long periods afterwards. Research shows that women are usually most attracted to psychological thrillers because they like the intellectual side of strange psychologically challenging behaviour that features in these films. So this shows that our ideal audience would be a women over the age of 18. However, as it is only the opening scenes to a thriller it will be suitable for everyone as the story is only being outlined rather than going into depth.
This is the category of thriller that we have decided to make as it is popular with audiences and will be the easiest to film as it's usually based in an ordinary, day to day setting.
