1. How did you attract/address
your audience?

2. The Components of Thriller and
Suspense Films
• Thriller and Suspense films are known to promote
the feelings of intense
excitement, suspense, expectation, uncertainty
and tension.
• Cliff Hangers and thrills are often used to keep the
audience " on the edge of their seats" as the plot
builds towards the climax. The tension usually
arises when the main character is placed in a
dangerous situation of mystery and he or she
become involved in mission.

3. Characters/ Themes in Thrillers
• Plots in thrillers usually involve characters which
come into conflict with each other or outside forces.
Characters in thrillers included
convicts, criminals, stalkers, assassins or innocent
victims.
• Themes of thrillers include
terrorism, political, conspiracy and pursuit.

4. Physiological Thrillers
• Thrillers With Convoluted Plot Twists:
involves twisted plots and surprise endings
• The Usual Suspects (1995)
• Se7en(1995)
• The Sixth Sense (1999)
• Momento (2000)

5. How does this translate to Black Rose?
• Tend to be a lot more frequent these days opposed to “easy
thrillers”.
• The leading character Natalie Harland is mentally unstable and has
uncomfortable reactions to the small girl. She covers the character
profiles of the stalker and convict found in many thriller films.
• The Black Rose would fit under the thriller film of "Thrillers with
Convoluted Plot Twists" with the twisted plot and relationship
between Natalie and the little girl. It makes the audience uneasy
and surprises them.
• The theme of the Black Rose would be obsession, pursuit and
mental unstableness.

6. The Title of the Black Rose
• Red Roses traditionally symbolize desire and
love, and in our film the lady Natalie feels love
and attraction to her victims. By incorporating the
flower of a rose into the tittle, it foreshadows
that desire will be an ongoing theme.
• Natalie is also a florist which means being
surrounded by flowers everyday at work she
understands the nature and language of the
flowers.

7. Black Rose
• A Black Rose has an irony and contradiction
within it however, and providers and
impossible combination due to the fact that
flowers can't be black.
• The color black has connotations of death and
hatred, from this it foreshadows how the
movie will be set up and the conflicts that will
be in it.

8. Target Audience
• Age- Younger Audiences (15-30)
• Gender- Tends to be more male audiences, however the Black Rose has a leading female character
which will make it more relatable to a female audience. This makes the target audience for our
particular thriller wider. This is the case with James Bond thrillers as well since there is always a
leading beautiful woman alongside James.
• Television: Sherlock, Mad Dogs, CSI, Dexter, True Blood, Criminal Minds, Lost and 24
• Film: Inception, Bourne Ultimatum, Source Code, Sherlock Homes, James Bond and The Strangers
• Restaurants: Hard Rock Cafe, Wagamamas and Gourmet Burger
• Clothes: Natterjacks, Topshop, River Island, H&M and Super Dry
• Media: Xbox, Playstation, Iphone, Blackberry, 3D Tvs, Imac, IPad and Ipod
• Books: The searches of the dead, the clinic, On Dangerous ground, Angles and Demons and Black
Wind

10. Case Study- The Devil Inside
• In order for our movie the Black Rose to target the right
audience, I decided to research into the genre
of psychological thrillers. The new movie " The Devil Inside"
directed by William Bell achieved this by having a striking
portrait shot of the leading female character on their
webpage.

11. Case Study
• The Devil Inside covey's that it is a thriller film
due to the use of the colors black and red. Red
brings about connotations of
evil, death, murder and blood, which will be
found in the movie. The photo also has a worn
and scratched effect on the image which again
implies to the viewers that violence will be
used in the movie.

12. Website for the Black Rose

13. Facebook Page for Black Rose
• Using popular media tools such as Facebook will gain our
movie recognition

14. How did you attract/address your
audience?
• To attract our Audiences I did this through the:
• Contradicting tittle of the Black Rose:
showing components of darkness and desire.
• Leading character that falls under the
category of stalker and convict
• Using Social Media such as Facebook to
attract attention for the movie
