We used the conventions of suspense and mystery as a way of getting people to watch our film. We also used a sound that fit the genre and edited it in an exciting way that added drama and mystery. Our narrative isn’t in chronological order, creating a sense of mystery that draws in the audience to what’s happening. When they wonder what happens they want to watch more which draws them into the film and narrative. We wanted the audience to be curious as to who the characters are, what’s happened and what’s going to happen as this makes people think and if we can get people to think about our thriller opening it shows that we have done a good job on it.
The content of our thriller would be changed according to the BBFC guidelines though with what we wanted to do it was already in the range of 15. The boys wanted a full out fight in the opening but we had to cut it down to make sure it stayed a 15; too much violence with blood would mean that we might have had to rise the category to 18 which we didn’t want to do as it would lessen our audience. We already had to raise it to a 15 from a 12 and any more would have lessened our audience significantly. Also, as we are all under 18 creating an 18 film would be hard and probably not very convincing due to the fact that none of us are likely to have seen many 18 rated films.
