2. Audience Research Questionnaire
As a group we decided that we were going to
use this question to find out the gender of the
people who are interested in watching our
opening sequence analysis. From this we have
learnt that throughout our area the gender who
is most interested in the concept of
physiological thriller are males, although there
is not a large difference. Therefore we have
decided to aim our opening sequence at both
genders.
3. Audience Research Questionnaire
The results from this question on our
questionnaire show our target audience is clearly
16-20 year olds, although a small percentage are
21-25. The minimum age being 16 allows us to
include a wider variety of content in our scenes
as under the British board of film classification
films aimed at 15 and overs have less restrictions
than a 12a and 12 rated films. Though we can
now include scenes featuring strong violence, we
as a group decided this is not something we see
necessary to our opening sequence.
4. Audience Research Questionnaire
We chose this question as feel it is important to
meet audience expectations on what a psychological
thrillers should include. Here we learnt that the main
themes people believe a thriller should include are;
suspense, a comical aspect, death and a life
threatening plot line. Following our results we as a
group have decided to keep some of these themes
and co-operate ones such as suspense into our
thriller, as now we can see that this is what the
audience expects from our film.
5. Audience Research Questionnaire
This question was chosen so that we could have an
idea of whether we have the right idea of an
physiological thriller. Here we were very pleased
that all people who responded to our questionnaire
believes it physiological thriller genre is coming
across clearly from our storyboards. Due to getting
these results as a group we have decided to carry on
our opening sequence as we have planned it from
the storyboards, just keeping a look back on the
improvements people have set.
6. Audience Research Questionnaire
This question we chose as a group to link with
the question before, to be able to be given any
improvements if any people believed that our
storyboards didn’t really make it clear the genre
we are aiming towards, being a physiological
thriller. The response we got to this question was
overall very positives which showed us which
parts of our storyboards were the strongest.
