Q3:What do you like about Thrillers?
Looking at the results of this question, the pie chart clearly illustrates that the most popular feature about thrillers
are the Storyline and the least most popular was the option of Other. From gathering this information we aimed to
focus our piece more on our Story as this is what people are most engaged by, also, for a thriller to be a successful it
has to run through a viable Storyline that makes sense and also appeals to the audience. We laid out several
options to choose from for the respondents, however, the option of Other was put there to cater for people who
didn’t want to pick from the selections readily available, we then looked at our results and saw that no participant
picked that option, as a result we only focused on the preferences that were actually picked as this is what attracted
attention amongst people. Finally, we chose to focus mostly on the Storyline and the thrillers Action, we then
considered our thrillers Soundtrack and Special FX, these were the main aspects that we considered for our piece
and was chosen as these are what people responded to in the questionnaire, this particular question helped us get
a grasp on what people like about thrillers, we would then try to include as many of these features as possible to
ensure our thriller will be successful in most aspects.

Q4:What do you dislike about Thrillers?
The pie chart of this question indicates that the least most popular feature about thrillers are Soundtrack. As a result
we looked at question 3 to see if the results had any contrast or similarities and we had noticed the correlation
between the two pie graphs regarding Soundtrack, it was the least most popular feature on both charts , therefore,
altogether we decided to spend minimal time focusing on the Soundtrack of our piece however, because it was the
least popular, we aim to try and make our soundtrack simple in order to appeal to audiences. We also found that
people disliked Action the least, therefore we decided to focus more time on the Action of our piece to ensure our
thriller will prosper. However, Special FX also had been the least popular after Soundtrack , we then decided to not
include any Special FX as we felt it would ruin the realism of our piece, the piece would be to artificial. Overall, this
question helped us gather extensive information about what people dislike about thrillers, ultimately helping us to
improve our piece in certain aspects as well as informing us about what not to include in our piece.

Q5:What Thriller sub genre do you prefer?
From looking at the pie chart , our group could see that the most popular sub genre for a thriller is
in fact action, based on these results we decided to make our thriller piece an Action as this genre
is more likely to engage with more viewers, we also made our storyline with an action theme
behind it to attract a wider range of audiences. In contrast the least most popular sub genre was
Other, this option ranges from different genres that are alternative to the main sub genres, As an
outcome we decided to only consider the main sub genres rather than the ones that are unknown
to viewers. In between the least and most popular option, our group also considered the other
sub genres as they received results form participants indicating that there is some form of interest
amongst them. Altogether, this question helped us pick the right sub genre which is essential as
we picked the most interesting sub genre that effectively caters to a large variety of people and
this is illustrated through the results we collected on this specific question.

Q6:What Time Period do you prefer the film to be set in?
Looking at the results of this question, the most popular option of time period is the 2000s. This time
period is set in the last 15 years, this links to when people are growing up during these years which
could be the reason why they prefer modern films in comparison to old films. This essentially means
we set our own thriller piece in modern day as other time periods are less general. We considered this
time period as the main one. We also considered the time periods of the 30s, the future and also the
90s as these were also chosen amongst respondents who did the questionnaire. The options that
weren’t picked, initially weren’t considered in our thriller piece. Altogether, this question helped our
group pick the perfect time period which significantly appeals to viewers more than its expected to.
