How did this iunfluence my Final piece? 

My research influenced our filming and ideas for my thriller opening as we wanted to see; the best gender for the main character for a thriller, the most effective scene to use, what all the best known thrillers are and what they have in common.
These thrillers all have the theme entrapment and luring their victims in with a twisted game. In these thrillers they have mind games and unexpected out comes. With our thriller opening we will be going along with the theme of a mystery, where you won't properly see the abductor. With this in mind we will also be looking at the woods and open spaces to give an idea of being in the middle of nowhere and a struggle to escape. We are also looking at rating our thriller at a teenage target audience so 15+ but due to the content in our openning we would rate the film at a 12.
