Recently in Media Studies, we have been assigned and began to start our year 12 coursework. In groups of 3's or 4's, our overall task is to create the first 2 minutes of the opening to a Thriller film. We have to research, plan, develop and construct, so that our final piece is as good as it can be and thought and work has been put into it.
A lot of emphasis is being put into the research stage. This is because we need to make sure everything is right; we include the right conventions in our film, we need to make sure it can satisfy audiences for which we have used a survey. The survey was done by a member in our group and asks questions about Thriller films. Some questions touched on what people expect to see in a thriller, what kind of characters, music, how it climaxes etc. We thought the survey was a great thing for us as we have now gained some more insight on how we should approach the thriller opening, and additionally understand what the audience wants to see, and what they expect to see. The survey is linked below:

So far for the research stage I have looked into and wrote about the mark scheme. I will be picking out what exactly we need to do to gain the most marks, answer some questions about the mark scheme, and what we need to do for each stage such as plan, film and edit.
We have also been researching into thriller films to see what makes a thriller good, what makes a thriller bad, and what thrillers audiences like the most.
