Audience expectations
Audience research is very important because it’s a way of finding out about the audience; it helps us discover what their preferences are and estimate the size of the audience. I was able to analysis what type of thrillers the majority of the audience that I was going to target to.
The main audience expectations are for the thriller to be scary and have a sense of mystery also that the story is not completely straight forward and we would have to think about it. They would want the story line to be new and something that hasn't already been told and something that we weren't expecting to happen. Furthermore they expect it to have lots of bloody scenes and for it make us jump.
Film Institutions Research
History of Production company Universal Studios.
Universal Studios is one of the 6 major film production companies, founded by Carl Leammle in 1912, Universal Pictures is the second longest lived Hollywood studio. Universal gave credit and billing to performers, by naming the movie stars the company contributed to the creation of the star system. In 1910 the company promoted Florence Lawrence and King Baggot, in what may be the first time in which a studio used celebrities for the marketing of a film.

Title Sequence Research
When creating a title sequence it is beneficial to observe other productions for inspiration. I've selected a few introductions I found to be particularly well-executed in establishing tonality and scenario within a film.
Starting with Ridley Scott's 1979 astral horror flick, Alien, in which the actual title slowly fades in as the shot gradually pans from left to right in desolate space, as the credits appear in the center.
A sinister, ominous feeling is created through the painfully slow speed of which the shot is moving with tension-building, albeit subtly screeching violins and overall dark texture. Very effective.
Next up is John Carpenter's legendary extension to the slasher genre, 1978's Halloween.
Albeit simplistic, the chilling main theme coupled with the slow zoom-in of the pumpkin and the glowing orange text is a spooky introduction.
Lastly is George A. Romero's pioneering Zombie Survival film, the 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead.
The eerie music and the emptiness of the roads the car is followed around establish the tone for the rest of the film. Unlike the previous two clips, this introduction is actually relevant towards the story line as the events that succeed this scene are continuing the title sequence.
