In our thriller opening you see what appears to be two typical teenage girls. This relates to your stereotypical white middle class individuals. This is the one of the social groups that our thriller piece represents as it is purely based on our two characters.
Another type of social group that our film represents is people who struggle with mental illnesses. The two characters you see at the beginning of the film are long term friends but one of the friends (Charlotte) starts to witness figures in the woods and she becomes to feel drawn towards them without knowing why. Because of this, the complex message and storyline of our thriller piece, we decided to make the age rating rather high for a film that doesn't contain strong language, violent scenes or sexual scenes. We believed 15 was a suitable rating for our thriller piece because this is when people start to become aware of problems that might occur with other members of society. Also, we believe that some of the scenes may not be suitable for younger viewers such as the running through the woods late at night as it can be dangerous.
The message we aim to give to our audience is one of positivity. We are trying to promote support for the mentally ill, whether that be from parents, friends, partners ect. We aim to show people that you should be supportive of your friends because there's no way of knowing what they are dealing with. Because of this our film could also apply carers of people who suffer from mental illnesses. This is because they can use our film to help understand how mental illness suffers' brains work differently compared to 'normal people'.
