2. QUESTION 1: WHAT IS YOUR GENDER?
• This question may be extremely vague
however, it does expand the ideas and give
m a clear view of which gender I need to
focus on.
• As we can see in this chart 49% of women
have taken this questionnaire and 51% of
men have taken this questionnaire.
• We can also see that more men then
females from this question watch thriller
films. This may be because when men tend
to go cinema they go with their partners
• From this information, we will be able to
notice that we should mainly target men as
a lot of more of them are watching thrillers.
3. QUESTION 2: WHAT THRILLER SUB GENRE
ARE YOU MOST DRAWN TOO ?
• The reason why I asked this question was
so that I can narrow down all the sub
genres and only focus on the ones that
people are drawn towards.
• This question was based on the thriller
sub-genres and as we see 49% of the
respondents are most drawn to action
thrillers.
• But, we can also see that horror and
psychological thrillers are close up with
22% and 16%.
• The least popular thriller sub genre as we
can see are revenge thrillers, supernatural
thrillers, spy thrillers and other which was
romance.
• This gives us a main focus as more of the
respondents prefer action thriller.
4. QUESTIONS 3: HOW LIKELY IS IT THAT
WOULD RECOMMEND A THRILLER FILM TO
A FRIEND OR COLLEAGUE?
• I asked this question because it gives me
a clear view to see if people recommend
any films.
• This question was based on whether
people would recommend thriller films to
their friends or colleagues.
• 43% of people were passive 34% were
detractors and 22% were promoters.
• From this information, the potential things
that we could do to make people
recommend a film is by making it catchy
and making the storyline very interesting.
5. QUESTION 4: HOW WOULD YOU RATE THE
QUALITY OF THRILLER FILMS?
• It is important that I asked this question because it
shows me what quality people prefer their thriller
films.
• In this question the respondents had 5 options on
how they would rate the quality of thriller films.
• 55% of the respondents would rate the quality of
thriller films as high quality. 15% of the respondents
would rate the quality as high quality. 25% of the
respondents would rather the quality as neither high
nor low. And the last two options were 4%.
• The main focus would be to make the quality of
thriller films high quality/ very high quality as most of
that target is hitting high quality and above.
6. QUESTION 6: HOW IMPORTANT ARE
COSTUMES/PROPS/LOCATIONS IN
THRILLERS?
• This question was asked because it would show
me what people think about props, costumes and
locations but it was also make me think of what
props, costumes and locations I should use.
• As we can its a joint between very important and
important which is at 39%.15% of the people are
in between important and not important.
• Based on this information we can see that the
main focus of thrillers has to be
costumes/props/locations as many do focus on
these features.
• We could add props that we usually use in
everyday life such as cars, phones etc. as this
will allow he audience to relate with how they use
the props.
• With the location it’s the same as the props its got
to be somewhere where people can relate and
know about in order for the film to appeal to the
film.
7. QUESTION 7:WHAT PUTS YOU OFF
WATCHING THRILLER FILMS?
• With this question the answers I get will hep me
avoid anything that puts people of thrillers.
• 52% of the respondents said that bad acting is
what puts them of watching thriller films. 25% said
that the films are not scary enough is what puts
them off thriller films.
• 10% said that the thrillers are too scary.
• 49% of the respondents said that a confusing plot
is what puts them off.
• 10% said that props and costumes is what pus
them off.
• This graph shows us that the main two things that
put people off is bad acting and confusing plot.
This may be because the plot has too much and
doesn’t have one main focus.
• This could be avoided by having a simple plot and
adding ideas to expand that plot but not adding
way to many ideas to over do it.
8. QUESTION 8: FOR YOU WHAT BUILDS
SUSPENSE?
• From the graph, 34%of the people believe
music builds suspense.
• 16% believe lighting creates suspense.
• 25% believe camera angles create
suspense and finally 28% believe sounds
create suspense in thriller films.
• The potential reasons why respondents
could have said music builds up suspense
as in films when something is about to
happen there's always sound behind it to
build up that moment.
• With this information we can see that the
main focus of building suspense would be
the music.
• people could prefer the music as that's what
helps the storyline flow and builds
suspense.
9. QUESTION 9: WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES
A GOOD OPENING?
• This may not be a clear graph of
showing me what people may think a
good opening is but it does however,
allow me to look at every idea and see
how we could mix and match.
• we can see a lot of people prefer
mystery to start off with which is a good
way of starting a thriller as it makes the
audience question why that certain
event happened which will be revealed
during the film.
• We also see that someone said shot
type which helps to build mystery as the
way the characters or plot is seen is the
way its going to crate that mysterious
opening.
10. QUESTION 10: WHAT WOULD YOU RATE
THRILLER FILMS IN GENERAL?
• 0 of the respondents rated thriller
films a 1 star.
• 2 of the respondents rated thriller
films a 2 star.7 of the respondents
rated thriller films a 3 star.
• 20 of the respondents rated thriller
films a 4 star.4 of the respondents
rated thriller films a 5 star.
• As we can see that most of the
respondents rate thriller films 4 stars
this may be because as we’ve seen
throughout the results there are many
missing pieces which are missed out
in thrillers in order to make it just
perfect.
