MAKING IT RELEVANT TO OUR THRILLER:
- Our thriller is likely to me rated as a 15. This is because in oder for a film to be a 15, it may include strong threat, allowing us to communicate the idea of a psychological thriller. This also allows us to include more detail throughout our work. An advantage of having our thriller rated a 15, is that we would then have a more mature audience.
