Thank you for marking my AS media blog. My brief was to create the opening of a film in the Thriller genre. I have chosen to create mine in the sub-genre of a psychological thriller.

Why have we chosen those acttors?

DR JOSEPH DAMIAN:In our film there are only two character the biggest reason is because we wanted to focus on the main character, Dr Joseph Damian who has been interpreted by Matthew Foster, a year 13 drama students, the choice was made based on the fact that none of our family members were available to do it and we had to choose a sixth form student, Matthew looks older enough to seems a doctor. He has been very kind and he immediately got in our character making our job much easier.


KILLED GIRL:I interpreted the role of the girl who was abusing of her body, smoking, taking drugs and alcohol, the choice ha been made after the photo-shoot of the murder scene, where I pretended to be dead and hidden in his basement by the main character. I agreed of being recorded because it was a easy way to finish the filming and to be able to start editing as early as possible.

Marketing Technique

One of the most hard question when you are making a film is: Who is your target audience?


In our case we are shooting a psychological thriller that for conventions can be quite violent. In our opening scene there aren't particular violent moments, but anyway our target audience must be older than 15, some content could be too much for a young boy or girl.
If we think to a gender we can say that both man and woman could be interested.




The audience of this film expect mostly tension suspense and a main character who has a sort of mental issue, in our opening you can find everything, the main themes of psychological thriller are treated, such as Reality-> the film is located in a real situation where a doctor is seriously disturbed, Perception-> in the film Dr demian thinks to be in charge to purify the world from those girl who don't treat their bodies as a temple (Corinthians 6:19 in the bible), Mind-> Dr Demian again is the one whose mind is different from the other, Purpose-> to be in charge to purify the world, Identity-> Dr Demian is confused and for keep the bad thought away starts to abuse of drugs and alcohol, Death-> there are picture of murder scene in the film.

Interview with our target audience

How our film is improving?

The film is taking shape and we are now proceeding to edit the titles and add sound effects.

After have finished to film all the scene we noticed that the nurse part wasn't suitable we decided to cut it from the film. And having found that the scenes filmed near the casino were way to dark to use them, Maddy and Rhianna founded a way to bring them more clear, avoiding to have to reshoot them from the beginning.

The film is overcoming my initial expectation, I'm really pleased by the effort that the whole group is giving.

Possible music\sounds

I think that those two song represent the psycho-thriller genre, because they build tension and can be effective for suspense moments. In other words we need music that stimulate anxiety and worry feelings.
