Name: Jonny Moore
Age: 16


















This man is called Jonny Moore, who is 16 years old and lives in Jersey.

Jonny is a man who loves to socialise on the weekends but in the evenings after school when there is no football on he enjoys watching all sorts of different films with his friends. His favourite film genres are thriller and horror. 

As Jonny Moore is a fan of Thriller films i decided to ask him a few questions in order to help me create my own opening sequence in this genre.


1) What is your reason for naming thriller as one of your favourite genres?


The main reason that I chose thriller is because it keeps you on edge all the time, it makes you want to carry on watching. The story line of thriller films rarely get boring and fail to lose my full attention, this is because thriller films are usually full of action.


2) What would you recommend for me to avoid whilst i am making my opening sequence so i dont make it too unrealistic?


For me what makes thriller films so good is that they keep you on edge all the time and always fail to lose my full attention. I would recommend that you have lots of interesting epic music and lots of fast changes in camera angles, to keep the person watching on edge. I would also suggest that you record in a interesting location that is different.


3) What would you recommend me using in my opening sequence?


For you to really attract the audience to your opening you should try to use some special effects this will make the audience feel wowed, also you need to use lots of props generally just to make your opening look better. I would also try to film in more than one setting for variation in the opening sequence.


4) And finally, what sort of age group do you think i should target?

It is really up to you but i would recommend your target audience to be from the age of 16 and above. This way you have a wider ranged target audience which will help when making improvements for your next sequence you make. Also having a target audience of 16 allows you to target young years so you would have a wider range of people watching.
