Audience:

Out of the 12 top films the majority of them are drama genre that the audience has appealed to. Each film varies in their plot with none of them having similarities to the other. The thriller genre that we are looking at takes form in the film "Gone Girl", the poster for the film features a long shot of a man standing alone. This makes the audience think about why he is alone, the title 'gone' applies someone has disappeared or has gone missing and 'girl' is a mystery of how the man and the 'girl' are related. The man in the audiences eyes could be a brother, friend, murderer to the 'girl' and makes the viewer want to know what is going to happen in the story. One main convention within the thriller genre is to create a sense of mystery and suspense without trying to give to much away, for example the character in the poster is not shown as he is facing the opposite direction. The poster is dark and looks like it is nearly night time, making the audience wonder why the character is standing in what appears to look like a field, could he be searching for something or hiding something? The film is directed by David Fincher, who is famous for his thriller genres and conventions, this means that the viewer is expecting a certain style of film and expects it to be mysterious and psychological at times.
From looking up what is the top cinema listings we can interpret what types of films appeal most to audiences and such as "Gone girl" we can get ideas on posters and background/fonts for our own film Doctor 6:19.
