I included this question in my survey in order to find out how often the audience
watch psychological thrillers, this gives me a more refined idea of how popular
psychological thrillers are with different audience members and as a collective.
The responses to this question reveal that the majority of audience members
only watch psychological thrillers a few times a year, making it more of a niche
genre.

of why audience members watch psychological thrillers. Furthermore the
responses collected for this question suggest that most of the audience
members enjoy watching psychological thrillers.

I decided to include this question because audience members watch films in
groups, therefore being able to find out who audience members watch films

answers to this question show that the majority of users watch psychological
thrillers with their friends, making them a popular social activity.

5. Question 4: How often do you go to the cinemas to watch

The cinema is the main part of the exhibition of stage of the production
process for feature films, therefore finding out how regularly audience
members go to the cinema to watch psychological thrillers is essential to
understanding how popular they are. The results for this question show that
most audience members go a few times a year, or once a year. Unfortunately
this is significantly lower than I expected, showing how niche this genre has
become.

response was DVD/Blu-ray. This shows that conventional methods are more
popular than new services.

This question was included in the questionnaire to try and understand why
audiences watch psychological thrillers, the responses to the question show
that the audience members that participated didn't have any inspiration
related to directors or actors that influence them to watch films in this genre.
Moreover this shows that star status doesn’t cause the success of this genre.

8. Question 7: Are there any sub-genres that you watch in
additional to classic psychological thrillers?

Psychological thrillers are a sub-genre of a larger format, however I wanted to
find out if there any even more specific genres that audience members watch.

most popular sub-genre, in addition to this sub-genre ‘psychological horror’ was
also a popular choice among the responses selected. This shows how diverse
this genre has become.
