Film genre and examples

Crime thrillers are films which focus on the lives of criminals. The technical approach to a crime film varies from realistic portrayals of real-life criminal figures, to the far-fetched evil doings of imaginary villains. Criminal acts are almost always glorified in these movies.

Information in opening sequence

The information we want to get across in our 2 minute opening sequence is the character and what happens to him and how he got murdered and who he got murdered by. Setting will be in a dark place and in the back streets of a busy residential town also we want to give the feeling that the Murderer is getting followed by someone.

Target Audience

We researched different thriller films, and looked at the gender percentage and age difference. We found out that men mostly watch thrillers compared to women and the age range is around 15-34.
