2. This bar graph of my data
shows that women may be
more interested in thriller
films than men as 55% of
people that took the survey
were female. This may mean
that women go to the cinema
more than men because
women usually go to films in
groups or with a friend or
boyfriend, therefore leading
to their interest in thriller
movies and taking my survey.
Q1:
3. According to the data it appears that
psychological thriller is the most
popular sub genre as it has the
highest percentage at 30%. This data
helps with the creation of my thriller
opening as now I can use
psychological conventions which will
appeal most to my audience as this
was the favourite option. This may be
the most popular response because
this is a very popular thriller genre
meaning it is created more than other
genres so viewers would come across
this genre more often, influencing
their decision.
Q2:
4. By analysing this data I can infer
that The Call is a very popular
film within my target audience of
15-24. This data helps with my
thriller opening as it means that I
can analyse the conventions used
in The Call and use them to my
advantage to create an opening
that will entice my target audience
and persuade a good reaction.
Q3:
5. According to the data I have
collected I can infer that my target
audience would prefer the location
of a thriller film to be in a city
rather than a countryside, dark area
or light area; this is as it got the
highest percentage at 40%. This
helps with the creation of my
thriller film as this means I can
base my thriller film around a city
location to appeal to my target
audience. This may be the most
popular as some people may be
fearful of dark areas as they would
get scared easily so this would be
most popular, and an area with a
lot happening in such as a city
would make a viewer more
comfortable
Q4:
6. Due to the data I have
gathered I can assume that my
target audience prefer a male
in the leading role in contrast
to a female; this may be
because it is very stereotypical
for a male to be in the main
role. This means that I can
have a male in the leading role
to appeal to my target audience
and keep with stereotypes.
Q5:
7. It appears that my target
audience prefer a male as the
antagonist in a thriller as
80% of my responses were
male. This may be because it
is stereotypical for the
antagonist to be a powerful
male which may have
influenced their responses.
This means that I can have a
male as an antagonist to
appeal to my target audience.
Q6:
8. By this data I can infer that
45% of the respondents that
took my survey chose neutral.
This does not help with the
creation of my movie opening
as if most chose strongly
agree, I could make the
opening very scary and
provoke emotion out of my
target audience.
Q7:
9. I can infer that most respondents
in my target audience prefer a
plot twist in a thriller movie. This
would help in the creation of my
opening as I can use a plot twist
in the opening to create a sense
of mystery and provoke emotion
out of the viewer to attract
interest.
Q8:
10. The data in this graph allows
me to understand that I could
put hints of the plot in the
opening scene to provoke
interest in the audience. This
could be the most popular as
this is where plot twists and
suspense happens which is
proven to be my target
audience’s favourite parts of a
thriller movie.
Q9:
11. I can infer from this data that
my target audience prefer
suspense to be built
moderately slow before a
potential jump scare. I can
use this in my opening to
create false peaks of
suspense and also scare the
viewer.
Q10:
12. I used a social media site named
Instagram to share my survey to my
target audience to get as many responses
as possible, so that I can collect data and
create the best opening possible to
appeal to my target audience.
