1. Audience Feedback Results
Abbie, Megan and I interviewed a range of different
people in order to complete our interview research.
This research will help us to improve our film so it is
more suited to our target audience, which will make it
more successful.
We gave each of our groups a summary of our storyline before they were asked these
questions and we collected the results and edited them together to make a short film
outlining the answers they gave. We wanted to find out ways in which we could
improve our narrative so we could make an original film that would keep the audience
on the edge of their seat. I came up with some of the questions and asked the audience
the questions in the interview.

2. 1. What do you like and dislike about the thriller
genre? Why?
Our interview showed us that the audience like a film that is unpredictable, has a twist
to it and makes you jump, saying that it 'keeps you on the edge of your seat'.

3. 2. Can you relate to male or female
characters more and why?
The audience feedback showed us that they can empathise more with
characters of the same sex, because they know what they're going through
and how they would feel.

4. 3. Can you give an example of some of your
favourite thriller films if you have any?
Our audience told us that some of their
favourite films include hide and seek, black
hawk down and saw.

5. 4. Do you think we can make any
improvements to our original narrative?
Our audience thought that no improvement
needed to be made to our narrative because it was
good, different and original. They also said that it
keeps people thinking.

6. 5. What do you do in your free time?
Most of our audience participate in some
kind of sporting activity, ranging from
horse riding to football. They also like
going to the cinema and seeing friends.

7. 6. What do you think the most effective
way to open a thriller film is?
The audience feedback told us that the
most effective way to open a thriller film is
to include lots of action and gore right
from the beginning.

8. 7. Do you like films that make you jump?
Why?
Most of our audience said that they do
enjoy films that make them jump as long as
it has a good storyline to follow. They
prefer to watch a jumpy film if it is
unpredictable because it is more
interesting.

9. 8. Do you like seeing stereotypes being
challenged?
Our information told us that the audience
only like stereotypes being challenged
sometimes.

10. 9. Would you go and see this film in the
cinema and why?
Yes the audience would like to see this film because
it is interesting and different. However, one person
said that they wouldn't like to see it in the cinema
because it seems quite girly, and this is because they
find it harder to relate to females than males similar
to themselves.
