Target Audience for thrillers

Finding the target audience for thrillers as a whole is very hard because of all the sub genres that attract different audiences. However most thrillers arnt easy watchers. They can be complicated meaning a more matured mind would understand them better then a younger person. Men seem to enjoy films with tension more then women however this is a stereotype but thats what makes target audiences. also most of the sub genres for thrillers are targeted more on men. for example action, crime, horror,sci fi... i would say the target audience is 18-55 mostly male and well educated.

180 degree rule



In this picture you can see the green area of 180 degrees were you are allowed to film. If you go past the 180 degree area the actors will switch round, this is shown on the diagram above. this will cause the audience to be confused and could break the continuity.

Continuity

continuity editing is a technique to putt pieces of footage together in a smooth way giving them a logical coherence. This will mean the transitions from one shot to another are smoother giving it a journey feel which the audience can easily watch and understand. A good way of achieving this is by using match on action.
match on action is when you connect two different views of the same action at the same moment in the movement without giving it a stop and start feel. the key is to make the shots look smooth and uninterrupted. This gives the audience the feel that they are following the action.
another example of a technique that helps ensure continuity is using diegetic sounds. These are sounds that are happening in the story. This keeps logical coherence because it relates to whats happening on screen.
