I conclude from my personal questionnaire, that I will be aiming my thriller opening at the ages of 15 and over. The reason for this is because i have the most research of this age group even though people have said that they think that the age restrictions are stupid and watch ages which are too old for them. I will also make sure that the edits which will be made on the computer. I will also be using various non-diagetic sounds to make the tension higher, also i will be attempting to make the sequence as a hybrid genre between the horror and thriller. I would also try and make my editing style around Quentin Tarantino as i think he is an exellent director.
