2. Institution
We believe New line cinema would be suitable for our film trailer, doing research into
the psychological thriller history we found that many of the top thrillers were made by
your institution. When we found this we decided to research new line cinema to see if
they would be suitable for our movie and trailer. Your institution has distributed many
other films that are of the same genre for example:
• Number 23
• A nightmare on elm street
• The conjuring
• Final destination 5
• A butterfly effect.
3. Institution
All of these are in the top psychological thrillers and have all been
popular in the cinema as making a big profit from all of them. We
want this for our trailer as we want the trailer to get a good
response and to be distributed by your company as they have
produced other films like ours and have also got a good response. As
you are an American based studio you can broaden our area which
means our film can appeal to more appeal.

4. Plot
The conventions of a psychological thriller would be that it is based around ne main
character who has a psychological problem. As the story progresses we realise that the
character either is unsure of what he is doing or goes insane. A brief outline of our
story is that it is based around a man who has schizophrenia which is related to the
theme of psychological. He is married but unfortunately their little girl was murdered
but the murderer was never found. As the man is trying to find out who killed his
daughter he starts to go crazy trying to find out who done, he uses a shed to write
down everything that he finds but he writes on the walls so it is easier for him to look
through everything as he is going crazy. A consequence of him going crazy he starts to
argue with his wife and as he is getting agitated with trying to find out who killed his
daughter he tries to kill a man who he thinks killed her. In the last scene he is in his
shed as he is unaware of what he is doing now, he starts writing down everything he
knows but both sides of his state to try and find out who done it. At the end we find
out that he killed his daughter as he has schizophrenia and is sometimes unaware of
what he is doing. We believe this is conventional as it based around one character
with a psychological problem, another convention that we believe fits the criteria is
that there is a big plot twist as we find out that he was the one who actually his own
daughter.
5. Target audience
Our target audience is for both male and female but doing the genre research to find
out who our target audience could be the females were slightly higher but 10 %. The
age range would be 18-32 as this is the age range that would watch it as it relatable
which makes it more appealing. We chose the status would be students or workers as
this is also makes it relatable for the audience. The psychographic would be that they
like to listen to music and watch movies as this is what the majority of people in our
age range do and watch movies to show that they would want to watch this film. As
the age range is also young they also will go out with family and friends. As it is a
about a person who has schizophrenia it appeals to the target audience as they are
fascinated which appeals to them which they would want to watch films about them.
