In order to accumulate any ideas for our thriller opening, I created a survey using SurveyMonkey. I produced 10 questions which I asked my friends and family to complete. 12 people took part in the survey. Here are the results from those who partook in the survey:
The first question I asked was the surveyor's preferred genre of film. I wanted to use this later to compare with what they would like to see in a thriller. This will allow us to decide on what our target audience would like to see, allowing us to determine the sub genre of thriller we would use.
The key question I asked in the survey was "How would a good thriller begin?". The most popular choice was flashback. For us, I feel like this question was an amazing source of communication between our audience and us. The feedback used in this survey and the others from my group will be used to find the most appropriate beginning to our thriller opening which will appeal to our target audience.
MINI PITCH
My initial idea was a mixed group of 16/17 year olds from North London who enjoying going out and partying. They decide one night before a party to try a Class A drug because they want something new. The night takes a bad turn when one friend becomes unconscious and has several fits before going into cardiac arrest. The group of teens cover up the death by hiding the body and creating an alibi which gets them out of the clear...or so they think.
A potential idea for a title had to contain the central theme of youth, drug use and it needed to give away what the film is about, without completely spoiling it. In order to appropriately name the thriller, i decided upon Banged Up.
