The survey analyzed responses from 15 participants mostly between ages 16-25. It found the audience had a fairly even split of males and females. Most watched films once a month or every 6 months. When asked about thriller films, most said they enjoyed the genre. The survey also found that participants most enjoyed the building of tension in thrillers and that crime and psychological thrillers were the most popular subgenres. Based on the results, the document recommends including tension throughout and combining elements of crime and psychological thrillers.
2. WHY WE DID THIS SURVEY
The reason why we have done this survey is because after the research
that we had done so far and the pilot survey we conducted. We found that
there was still questions that we want answering to be able to produce the
best final piece possible.
3. OUR FINDINGS
The first part of our survey shows that out
of the 15 people who took part in our
survey we had a pretty even split of both
males and females, with 8 females and 7
males. This shows that our results are
accurate for both males and female
audiences.
4. OUR FINDINGS
The second question on the survey
showed that out of the 15 participants we
had 13 of them in our target market of
people between 16 and 25. This is useful
information because it shows that the
results of our survey are relevant to our
opening as well as insuring that are
information is accurate.
5. OUR FINDINGS
On the question of how often do they
watch films the most common answer was
that they watch films around once a
month. With the second most common
answer being that they only watch a film
every 6 month.
6. OUR FINDINGS
In our survey we also used longer answer
questions to be able to get a more detailed
idea of what are target market thinks. One
of the question that we asked our target
audience was for what they believe was the
best part of a thriller film. From our result
we found that many of the surveys
participants said they enjoyed the building
of tension within the films. This is useful
because it shows that the best way to
entertain our audience is to increase the
amount of tension in our piece.
7. OUR FINDINGS
On the question of whether or not they
enjoy thriller films 14 people answered
the question with the majority saying that
they do enjoy thriller films. This is useful
because it shows that we have picked a
popular genre and that many of our
target audience enjoy thriller films . Which
will be useful for our production because
it shows that are target audience have
opinions on thriller films.
8. OUR FINDINGS
We also believed that it would be beneficial
to our research t find out what sub genre of
thriller film are target audience preferred.
The results of our survey question on sub-
genre shows that half the people surveyed
said that crime thriller was their favourite
genre. With the second favourite genre
being psychological thriller film. This
information is useful because it shows
different results to our pilot survey who had
the favourite sub-genre of action.
9. OUR FINDINGS
The final question that we asked for our
survey was if their was any part of a
thriller film that they hadn't seen but
wanted to see. The results of this was that
many of the participants saying their was
nothing that they wanted to see.
Although one person did say that they
would like to see a new type of character
being used.
10. WHAT WE WILL TAKE FROM THIS
RESEARCH
One of the main things that we will take from this research is that we
should use tension throughout our opening because it is shown to be one
of the main elements that are enjoyed by our target audience.
Another part we will take from this survey is that we should include
elements from both psychological and crime thriller films. This is because
they are the two most popular sub-genre for our target audience, so we
believe that by combining the two we will have parts if the film that suit
most people in the age range we are looking at.
