In order to gain more information on our target audience we had a couple interviews with some students who fit our target audience criteria. The first interview was with a 16 year old school student named Lorraine who likes thriller movies. This interview unfortunately had to be split into two parts due to audio issues.
Transcript:
Interviewer: Do you think thrillers should be funnier?
Lorraine: I don't think they should be funny; because some thrillers are based on real-life stories and sometimes that can affect and individual's life. Like just knowing that someone else has lived through all that suffering and pain, you just sitting there watching that, do you not feel some form of emotion, rather than just sitting there, laughing?

Interviewer: What are you thoughts on spy thrillers?
Lorraine: I like spy thrillers because I like to see the new techniques they use in every type of film, because every spy thriller is different to the last one so I want to see what they use to bring up their game, in comparison to other competitors. I like to see spy thrillers because I like to see the action. I like to see the like effects they have on people and... yeah.
The second interview we had was with a 17 year old media student named Samuel who said he enjoys sitting down and seeing a good film in front of him.
Transcript
Interviewer: What kind of films do you like and why?
Samuel: Um, I like to see comedy films however my favourite are thriller films because I'm intrigued in the mystery that happen throughout them.
Interviewer: Okay, okay, what's your favourite thriller film?
Samuel: Um, my favourite thriller film is Transporter, and the reason why I like Transporter is because I'm intrigued, I like how the mystery is almost unclear so and I also like the characters and the action througout the movie as well
Interviewer: When do you think that thriller films are most effective?
Samuel: I think thriller films are most effective when most of the conventions such as low key lighting, mystery and all those other conventions are all used throughout the movie in order to get the best project out of it.
Interviewer: Thank you very much.
The target audience interviews were a good way to get inside the mind of the audience to try and produce a film they would want to watch. With the help of the information they gave us, we were able to make certain decisions in our film making to increase the enjoyability for the viewers. For example, we made sure to steer clear of comic relief giving our film a slightly darker tone, separating it from an action film. We also made sure to create a mystery to keep the audience interested and included action with guns to excite the viewers too.
