As an individual I have researched into various Thriller films gathering the Audience Feedback individual films.

Paranormal Activity 
Inception, Inception 
The Dark Knight 
Godfather 
Silence of The Lambs 
The Departed

The results from user reviews generally agree that Males Aged 18-29 are the target audience, this generation are more likely to watch and like our Thriller and we have to hit this audience. Because we are a small independent movie production company we can target this audience as a niche audience, we don't need to hit the mass audience.
User reviews for these films state that the best parts of Thriller movies are a good gripping storyline, a mysterious element to the plot and good use of musical score and editing. Editing is particularly important in Thriller movies we have seen from reviews , techniques such as close ups , shot composition and lighting etc are all essential to Thriller movies I have seen. We have to make sure that we use these techniques in our Thriller opening in order to hit our target audience.
