Action-Thriller Mood Board

This mood board consists of a range films from thriller sub genres such as Crime Thrillers, Action Thrillers, Psychological Thrillers and Spy Thrillers. All films have a main character who has a motive for committing actions whether they be for evil or for good. This will be very helpful in the creation of my film opening as I will be able to develop ideas that generate suspense within  the film opening. These films will also help me generate a relationship between my two main characters within the film opening also, so that the audience will have a good understanding of what's to come in the sequence.

Females were seen to enjoy each genre equally, showing me that they prefer a mixture of all genres. A lot of the females who took part in the survey said that they look forward to who is the directing the film that they're watching. This tells me that women are more particular in the elements of the films that they are watching. This could give the impression that they're more careful in which films tey watch due to who&
