The document summarizes the results of a 10 question audience research questionnaire and analysis about preferences for psychological thriller movies. It found that action movies were commonly preferred, storylines were deemed most important in thrillers, and that most people knew what bipolar disorder was but didn't have close experience with it. However, bipolar disorder was not seen as a major issue. The research aims to help make a psychological thriller film that better matches audience expectations and informs people about serious mental health issues like bipolar disorder.

8 out of 10 people know what
bipolar is and understand the
concept of it, this will help the
audience understand what
will be happening in our
movie. However not a lot of
people know anyone with it.
This will help them experience
what bipolar is and what it
can do to someone.

11. 10) Using the scale above, in your
opinion is bipolar a major issue?
From the overall results of this
question we found out that
people aren’t as much
concerned about Bipolar. The
answers range from 4 to 8,
which indicates that Bipolar is
seen as being fairly important
to not as important. The
reason for this could be due to
the majority not having
knowledge on the topic.
However from watching our
movie we hope to be able to
inform individuals about how
serious the matter is.0
