Name of Film: Into Thin Air
Genre: Psychological Thriller/ Teen
Why we chose this idea?
- The idea seemed easy to make and adapt to, we thought the initial idea was interesting and liked the fact that the film would confuse our audience. Our specific audience would most likely enjoy and engage with the film as our target audience is 15-25 year olds. The location that it was based around was university/school, so would be easier and more efficient to work around school and less time thinking about the locations we should use. Another reason why we chose this idea is because our audiences may be able to relate to the content of our film and our characters. Plus the genre is different to other trailers, films and ideas. The idea can also be applied to younger audiences because of them being more likely to go to the cinema and spend money on watching the latest film. Also with this age group it can be more related to school, apprentiships and jobs due to the main character going through the same thing. The idea also involves a relationship between two best friends which can be applied to young girls of the same age. As the genre is a psychological thriller it includes a type of mystery and i think audiences like to see that the most in films but also the excitement that comes with watching the film.
