Evaluation: I asked 20 people around college this questionnaire, there were mixed answers throughout the questions. The people I asked in the 15-18 age group mostly went for Batman on the favorite thriller question I think this is because Batman is aimed at an older teenage audience. That age group mainly went for Christopher Nolan as their favorite director. The rest of the answers were mixed. This shows that people have different opinions and mixed tastes in to the type of thriller films they watch and the work that the directors do.

I will try and relate my thriller to Christopher Nolans style of of filming. I will do this by filming some of it in the dark to add to the fear factor and the sense of mystery. I think using his style of work will up my grade and help influence me.




















There are various different audiences of thrillers, some people like fast paced ones from directors such as Christopher Nolen but others like slower ones from directors such as Steven Spielburg different audiences like different things. Certain thrillers apply to different age groups this obviously attracts differnt audiences for example batman applys to a mixed audience but films such as SE7En apply to a older audience maily. Directors need to target certian audiences to make money.
