Questionnaire Summary

1. Summary of my
Questionnaire
By Jack Francois

2. 1. What age were you
when you started watching
Thriller films?
 For this section of the questionnaire, I have found
out with my results that mostly 16-18 year olds
watch thriller films. This now means that I should
make a opening scene or film that targets towards
the late teens or even young adults.

3. 2. Which of these genres
are more appealing to
you?
 From this section of the questionnaire, I come to the
conclusion that my participants prefer to watch the
genre of thriller films. This now means that I need to
make a thriller film to make sure I target my target
audience.

4. 3. Do you prefer films that
create tension and
suspense?
 This section of my questionnaire has made me
come to the conclusion that my participants and
target audience prefer films that include tension and
suspense which means that I need to make my
thriller film tension building as well as including lots
of scenes where suspense is present.

5. 4. What do you think is the
most important for building
tension?
 From this section of this section of the
questionnaire, this came to me as a shock. I though
that the participants would go for camera work but
instead have gone for sound. Because of this, this
now means that as well as including many camera
angles and techniques I will also have to use the
sound and music in my film wisely as this has been
proven to be the most important in building tension
in a thriller film by my target audience.

6. 5.What do you think is the
most important factor in a
thriller film?
 From my target audience, I have come to the
conclusion that the most important factor in a thriller
film is the props. To comply with this, I now need to
find unique props and not just stereotypical props
such as phones and guns. So I will now have to be
a bit more creative in what the antagonist and the
protagonist use.

7. 6. How much of the film
plot should be reveled at
the opening sequence?
 According to my target audience, the opening
sequence should no include a lot about the plot of
the film within it. To respond to this, I am now going
to make the thriller film more mysterious so the
audience does not know who the antagonist is as
you do not see his face till the very end. I feel that
doing this will satisfy the target audience.

8. 7. What keeps you
interested in a film the
most?
 My target audience have told me that the antagonist
is the most important part of the film to keep people
interested. Because of this, I will now reevaluate the
antagonist by adding a jack the ripper theme to the
antagonist to make him more intimidating as well as
mysterious to keep the audience interested. This
should keep them interested as it will make the
target audience scared for the protagonist
