The survey of 12 people found their favorite genres were thriller, sci-fi, and comedy. This likely represents most people's preferences, but a larger sample size would make the results more reliable. Data from the BFI website showed thrillers are the third most popular film type in the UK. While no one disliked the thriller genre, asking more specific questions about what aspects interest audiences could provide more insights than general responses. Most respondents' favorite thriller film was Inception, so the group based their ideas on that film. Common answers about interesting thriller elements were anticipation, tension-building, and mystery. The group considered a psychological thriller but realized they lacked the skills and time to fully develop that concept.

Survey results for our preliminary task
The survey results showed that most respondents were females aged 14-late teens, as targeted. Their favorite genres included thriller, horror, comedy and drama. Most respondents liked thriller films and had watched one in the last 4 weeks. The proposed opening title sequence featuring a female character free running to escape rivals was appealing to most, described as interesting, intense and suspenseful. However, some felt it could be clichéd. When asked about thriller films, common associations were excitement, suspense, horror and whether it would be enjoyable. The results provide guidance on engaging the target audience through an exciting but original opening sequence.
Primary research from Audience Research Questionnaire
Primary research was conducted through a Twitter questionnaire to learn about people's preferences in horror movies. 7 responses were received from ages 15-17. 5 respondents preferred supernatural horror genres and said their favorite character was the monster. Most people said trailers influenced their decision to see a film. The findings suggested developing a supernatural themed horror focused on the monster, as this aligned with the target audience's preferences. Respondents enjoyed a variety of horror subgenres and films.
Questionnaire
1) The document discusses conducting primary research through questionnaires to understand audience preferences for horror films.
2) The author created a 10 question survey asking about favorite horror genres, effective film techniques, character preferences, and what scares audiences most.
3) The results showed that audiences preferred psychological horror, demonic villains, and found imagery, characters, and atmosphere most important to effective horror films.
Questionnaire
The document outlines a learning objective to understand primary research and define different ways of collecting it. It then discusses types of primary research like questionnaires, focus groups, and using social networking sites. The document provides an example questionnaire for a horror film with 10 questions about preferences, scares, and effective elements. It asks for the participant's name, age, and gender before the questionnaire.
Pitch analysis
Pitch 2 received the most votes for having the strongest character. The audience found the character intriguing because she battles herself, which adds an element of unpredictability. This fits well with the thriller genre.
Overall, the audiences felt the plots of all three pitches were easy to follow. They centered around a strong main character and had clear conflicts. This would allow a trailer to be effectively filmed and understood.
The most common aspects that intrigued audiences were the main character in Pitch 2 and the sinister aspects of Pitch 1. These elements will be incorporated into the combined story.
To improve the favorite pitch, audiences suggested adding more thriller elements like having the main character kidnap family members or a plot twist ending to
Questionnaire results
2 females and 3 males between the ages of 17 and 21 participated in a questionnaire about psychological thrillers. Responses showed that the genre is popular due to the excitement and tension. Films like Shutter Island and Fight Club were mentioned frequently for their dark themes and plot twists involving the mind. Most respondents said they would expect to see on-screen text, key information and reviews in a thriller trailer to provide backstory and promote the film. They also wanted to see the general story outline. While audiences ranged from teenagers to adults, most said psychological thrillers appeal more to males. Respondents associated the colors black and red with the genre to represent its dark and frightening themes.
Survey responses
- The survey responses showed that over 60% of respondents were female, so the film will primarily target females, but also attempt to appeal to males.
- Most respondents were under 18, so the film cannot be rated 18 to reach the largest audience. It also cannot be too childish to engage older viewers.
- Responses were almost evenly split on watching horror films at cinemas, so the trailer will first be sent to cinemas to generate interest before broader marketing.
- The most popular subgenres chosen were supernatural and psychological horror, so the film will fall into one of these categories.
Audience feedback
Kirat Chahal conducted research through a questionnaire of 30 participants, social media, and video interviews to understand the target audience for a planned horror film. The questionnaire found that 70% of the audience was male and 50% were ages 15-17, who enjoy violent and graphic horror films. 50% preferred haunted house settings and being frightened. Feedback from WhatsApp and Twitter provided additional perspectives, and connections with equipment suppliers. However, the small sample size of 30 limits using only questionnaire results to develop the film.

Questionnaire analyse
This document summarizes the results of a questionnaire about preferences for horror and thriller films among a target audience. Key findings include that the target age group is 16-18 year olds, the audience has a slight preference for female leads or mixed gender casts, and supernatural or psychological thrillers in settings like woodlands or houses would be most appealing. Locations and lead character gender were found to be less important than other elements like plot, tension, and scare factor.

Question eval[1]
The document summarizes evaluations from survey responses about thriller films from an older audience:
1) The survey responses were mostly from older people, so the views may not represent the general population and the film may not be suitable for all age groups.
2) Most respondents only watched thriller films occasionally, indicating they may not be the ideal audience.
3) The most popular genres were comedy and action, but comedy is not suited for the film, and this older audience may not be the target demographic.
4) Respondents preferred a more scripted film over ones focused on suspense or action, likely because older audiences prefer drama over thrillers with action.

Primary research
This document summarizes the results of a questionnaire given to gather primary research for a short psychological thriller film. It shows that the target audience is 15-25 year olds, both male and female. Most enjoy horror and thriller genres. While some only watch full-length films, many also watch short films online. Most respondents said they would be interested in a psychological thriller and want to see elements like an unstable reality and flashbacks. This research will help the filmmaker make creative choices to appeal to the target demographic.
Audience Research Part VI
The document summarizes the results of a focus group for a filmmaker testing audience reception of their trailer. It provides details of the focus group demographics and their responses to survey questions about elements of the trailer including audio, visuals, identification of characters and locations, and genres associated with the film. The filmmaker analyzes the responses and identifies areas like voiceover audio quality and character identification that may need further refinement.
Questionnaire analysis
This document analyzes the responses to questionnaires about psychological horror films. It summarizes the key findings:
- Respondents were split evenly between male and female. Most were between ages 16-30.
- The film Paranormal Activity was most commonly cited as an example of psychological horror.
- Respondents indicated that what they most liked or disliked about the genre was the thrill of being scared. Sound was identified as the biggest factor in building tension in psychological horror films.
Questionnaire
This document asks a series of questions about psychological thriller films. It asks the respondent if they enjoy watching psychological thrillers and which demographic is most likely to view them. It then asks the respondent to explain their answer to the first question and predict what may occur between characters in such films. Further questions ask if the respondent would like the film to be puzzling/mysterious and what their favorite genre of film is out of comedy, romance, and horror.
Survey monkey
Through a Survey Monkey questionnaire, the document summarizer gathered information about preferences in horror films from a mixed age and gender group. Key results were that the majority like horror movies, prefer films set in dark abandoned houses or woods, featuring a mixture of character ages, and listing The Conjuring as a favorite. Respondents enjoyed the not knowing what will happen next and tension in horror. A disliked aspect was the potential for nightmares.
Powerpoint media demo
The document discusses demographic research for thrillers. It analyzes data on gender (58% of cinema goers are women), age (the key groups are 50+, 14-17, and 18-24 year olds), and preferences (respondents most enjoyed the storyline of psychological thrillers). The conclusions are that women are the primary cinema attendees so they should be targeted, and thrillers should focus on people ages 50+ as well as younger groups 14-17 and 18-24 to increase profits. Psychological thrillers in particular should aim to craft appealing and interesting storylines.
Sams work
The survey discussed in the document was found to be unreliable and invalid. When the same questions were asked to three different people, three different answers were received, indicating a lack of reliability. The survey was also based on qualitative research but respondents did not provide precise or detailed answers for the results. To improve, the document recommends asking more detailed questions in a professional environment to those interested and knowledgeable about the topic to receive valid and reliable responses.
Primary research
The document summarizes research conducted to inform the opening sequence of a thriller film. It describes analyzing the top 50 thriller films to identify popular subgenres. Crime thrillers were found to be most common. Interviews revealed a preference for psychological and eco-thrillers over techno thrillers. A survey showed action thrillers and suspense are most popular elements, with common cliches disliked. The research will help make an opening sequence avoiding cliches in a popular but less common subgenre.
Audience questionnaire
This document is an audience questionnaire for a thriller movie. It asks respondents what type of thriller they prefer (e.g. psychological, action), their favorite thriller and why, the age ranges thrillers typically target and they would like to see a thriller based around, and what they expect from a thriller film opening (e.g. outline of story, cliffhanger). The questionnaire aims to help the filmmakers choose appropriate content and target audiences to intrigue viewers and appeal to a wide range.
Audience research
The document summarizes the results of audience research questions asked to people over 15 about their preferences for thriller films. Psychological thrillers and stories set in woods were most popular. Audiences also enjoyed varied character ages and openings that introduce characters. Most felt the opening sets the impression for the rest of the film. The conclusions were to consider making a psychological thriller with a range of characters, set in woods, and having an opening that introduces characters.
Questionnaire Analysis
1) The target audience for the film is 15-17 year olds as the certification is a 15. Most interviewees fell in this age range and found the gangster genre most interesting as it depicts ways to earn money and security.
2) More males (six) than females (four) responded to the questionnaire. To attract a mixed audience, the film will feature a variety of characters appealing to both genders.
3) The most popular genres voted for were gangster and comedy. The film will include elements of both, along with amusing scenes, to broaden its appeal.
4) The most effective camera shot was found to be the establishing shot, which orients viewers and shows body
Music video deconstructions
This document analyzes the conventions used in music videos by several bands. It discusses how the Red Hot Chili Peppers music video for "Cant Stop" relates the visuals and lyrics but not the actual content of the lyrics. Nirvana's "In Bloom" video relates the music and visuals of band members destroying the stage. Royal Blood's "Figure it Out" uses changing visual pacing to match the song's changes. Most videos use close-ups of artists and don't portray real life. They may tell stories related to lyrics or have fast editing and variety of shots conforming somewhat to their genres. In conclusion, the videos conform to genres while adding their own styles, like Red Hot Chili Peppers repeating scenes with
Poster deconstructions
The document analyzes and compares several music posters. It discusses the colors, layout, genre conventions, and branding strategies used in posters for The Black Keys, Gorillaz, The Vintage Caravan. Posters generally feature the band/album name, artwork, and tour information. Colors and designs aim to attract attention and align with the band's genre. For example, The Vintage Caravan's psychedelic rock poster has many colors and weird imagery. The document concludes posters should put their own spin on conventions to uniquely brand the artist.

The first idea for a music video
The document describes the original idea for a music video that would follow a chase between a protagonist and antagonist. The video would open with the protagonist working in an office while listening to the song (not yet playing). He would notice the time, get up to leave, and see the antagonist in his computer reflection. This would trigger a chase through different outdoor locations. Ultimately, the antagonist would catch the protagonist and hand him a letter revealing he had been fired from his job. The idea was abandoned due to concerns about weather compromising continuity for outdoor shots and the repetitive nature of the chosen song. A new idea and song would be selected instead.
Blocking check list in a table
This document outlines a filming plan across five blocks to capture footage of a chase scene between two characters, Joe and Jordan, at a farm and surrounding areas. The plan details the locations, shots, and equipment that will be used each day, including aerial, wide, mid, close, and motion shots from various angles as the characters run through fields, woods, a reservoir beach and overspill area.
Andrew goodwin's theory
Andrew Goodwin identified 6 conventions commonly found in music videos: 1) A relationship between lyrics and visuals, 2) Thought beats that illustrate the music, 3) Genre-related style and icons, 4) Multiple close-ups of artists, 5) Voyeurism especially of females, and 6) Intertextual references to other media. Examples are given for each convention from various music videos to illustrate how they employ techniques like synchronized lyrics/visuals, fast pacing to match music, recognizable artist imagery, promoting the star, sexualizing women, and referencing other works.
Blocking
The document outlines the filming plan over 5 blocks to capture footage of Jordan and Joe playing a game of chase. Each block details the location, talent, equipment, timing, and specific shots planned for that location. Some of the key shots include aerial footage of the chase through the farm field and woods, shots of Jordan hiding and Joe searching for him at the reservoir beach and treatment works, motion shots of the chase through larger woods and overspill area, and closeups of the characters interacting. The plan aims to capture the chase from varied angles and perspectives over the course of multiple days and locations, taking advantage of golden hour lighting.

Audience research summaryh
The document summarizes the responses to 10 questions from a questionnaire about audience preferences for horror movies. Some key findings include:
- Horror movies appeal to both male and female audiences equally, though slightly more females watch them.
- Most viewers are 17 years old, but horror movies target all ages.
- Students watch horror movies the most out of different occupations.
- Audiences like suspense, tension, and simple but effective storylines in horror movies.
- The most popular horror movie genres are paranormal, supernatural, and psychological.
- Audiences want trailers to show short clips and scary parts of the movie without giving too much away.
Questionnaire anaysis
The document analyzes the results of a questionnaire given to the document author's media class about their preferences for a short film. Most respondents were between 15-19 years old, with a target audience of 15-30. Responses were also analyzed based on gender, religion, political views, favorite and least favorite film genres, and preferences between short films and documentaries. The key question asked if the short film should focus on the experience of homosexuality or pride celebrations, with an even split in responses. As a result, the document author plans to incorporate both story elements into the short film.
Evaluation task 4
The document discusses a trailer created for a horror film and the research done to target the ideal audience. The intended audience was determined to be ages 16-21 based on similar successful horror films. Feedback from a focus group matching this demographic was positive, with all saying they would pay to see the full film. While both genders found it scary, female viewers were more likely to jump during tense moments. The trailer was successful in conveying just enough of the storyline to intrigue viewers and leave them wanting more.
Evaluation question 3
The target audience for the film trailer is 16-21 year olds interested in supernatural/horror movies. People in London are also a target audience as the film is set in East London, unlike most American-set supernatural films.
Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used to collect primary data from a questionnaire and secondary data from websites like IMDb and Wikipedia to understand the target consumer profile.
Feedback from the questionnaire showed that while some people did not like the genre, most enjoyed it for imagination. It also provided information on cinema attendance and expectations for release dates and common scenes in supernatural horror films to inform the trailer. However, some responses lacked detail.

digipack desconstuction
The document summarizes and analyzes the album covers, layouts, colors, genres, and branding of four different albums:
1. The Black Keys - El Camino uses an orange-tinted photo of a car to represent the album's Spanish name and origins. It features the car centered in the frame with equal space above and below. The cover subverts genre conventions to brand the artist as unconventional.
2. Gorillaz - Gorillaz features a camouflaged car on a white background to catch attention. It is positioned as driving toward the viewer. The cover follows alternative hip hop conventions while subverting bright electronica styles. This brands the artists as curious and unseen.
The black keys
The document discusses reasons why the author likes the band The Black Keys. Some key points include:
- They like all of the band's albums and how their music has changed over time.
- They appreciate the band's progression and hard work to become popular.
- The band seems to make music for enjoyment rather than just money.
- Their music videos are fun to watch.
- Their songs show emotion and seem real.
The author then makes some assumptions about Black Keys fans, such as them enjoying humor, appreciating different genres, and being younger in age from teens to 30s. The assumptions are based on the author's experience and talking to other fans.
Bfi statistical yearbook
The document analyzes film viewing trends by age group based on data from 2003 to 2013. It finds that 15-24 year olds watch more films than other groups, with comedies being the most popular genre. The 25-34 age group has more varied genre preferences. Films most viewed by 35-44 year olds are cartoons and children's movies, likely because many in this group have children. Age 45-54 viewers prefer action and thriller genres over comedy. Finally, film audiences are now equally split between men and women, with some films marketed specifically to each gender.
The hunger games
The document discusses the website for The Hunger Games franchise, which uses convergence techniques to promote both the books and films.

Planning presentation
The document discusses potential ideas and plans for three short thriller film projects. It chooses the third idea of a boy filming a school project who is attacked by an unknown man. It discusses the locations that will be used - a house in Crick and fields in East Haddon. It also includes character profiles, costume and prop details, and a pre-production shot list discussing thriller genre research and taking inspiration from the popular thriller film Prisoners.
Woman in black
The opening scene of the film uses sound to create suspense. As three girls play with dolls, spooky period music plays, making the audience feel like something bad will happen. The music gets louder as the girls look towards something unseen, building tension. When they jump out the window, the music intensifies and becomes traumatic drumming, showing it's too late to turn back from the tragedy. The fading music allows the mother's screams to deeply affect the audience, concluding the shocking scene and setting an ominous tone for the rest of the film.
Gravity done
The document analyzes how lighting and location are used to depict the emotions of a character in a scene where a female astronaut is trying to fix a space station as debris floats dangerously close. As the sole character is in the vast emptiness of space, she seems vulnerable and alone without the safety of Earth. When the space station explodes, the darkness of space replaces the hopeful blue view of Earth, symbolizing the loss of hope for her survival. By the end, with her oxygen running low as she floats helplessly in the debris, only a sliver of Earth is visible, nearly extinguishing any remaining hope as the character expresses her dislike of being in space.
Homefront
The title sequence uses various camera shots and angles to depict a journey from isolated rural areas to a more populated society. It begins with high overhead shots of woodlands and fields before cutting to close-ups of characters, then moves between low-angle and eye-level shots within forests and villages. Interspersed are shots of potentially dangerous animals and isolated buildings to convey a sense of being watched and trapped before opening up to shots of streets, cars and people to indicate the return to civilization. The sound used is non-diegetic music to accompany this visual narrative without adhering strictly to thriller conventions.
Chopper
The opening scene of the film Chopper uses several camera techniques and shots that follow typical thriller conventions. Shots are taken from low angles looking up at buildings to create a sense of being trapped. The lighting and colors used make some shots seem surreal and unsafe. Additional shots of the prison show high fences with barbed wire and lights, reinforcing the theme that there is no escape. Throughout the opening, a song plays in the background with lyrics about freedom, contrasting ironically with the prison setting. Overall, the opening scene sets up the film to follow typical thriller conventions through its camerawork, lighting, and use of non-diegetic sound.
Fargo
The opening scene of the film Fargo establishes mood through cinematography and sound design. A single continuous shot shows a car towing a broken vehicle through snowy conditions, getting increasingly closer until an extreme close up. Non-diegetic music builds tension until the vehicles pass and silence returns, creating an eerie atmosphere enhanced by the disorienting snow and fog. While not following all thriller conventions, the scene sets an ominous tone through its visuals and soundtrack.
Sin city
This document analyzes the movie poster for "Sin City" and discusses various elements of its design. The poster features characters against a black and gray background, making them stand out and look intimidating. Colors are limited to red for the title and shadows on faces, conveying danger, mystery, and a dark side. The large font size of the title ties into the sinful nature of the characters. Men hold guns, pointing one threateningly, showing the danger they pose. Dressed all in black and in the rain, they convey tragedy and a sense of revenge in their lives. A small illuminated figure stands apart from the others, possibly becoming important later. Overall the poster depicts defensive characters shrouded in mystery through its
Fargo
The film poster for Fargo uses unconventional bright colors and imagery to convey a sense of danger and mystery in a secluded, snowy place like Minnesota. The red font and jacket represent blood, while the pale body suggests a long-dead corpse. Along with an overturned car, this challenges conventions by using white space to create an unsettling atmosphere where crime can easily go undiscovered.
V for vendetta
V's face is hidden behind a mask, making him look mysterious and inhuman. He is positioned at an angle looking powerful and intimidating, characteristics common to thriller characters. A secondary female character stands below V in his shadow, showing she is less powerful but allied with him. Her uncovered face suggests she may be a good character helping V. Elements like the distorted red sky, references to blood and death, and V's knife being highlighted convey danger and violence, common thriller conventions used to achieve freedom for the people.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Thriller research planning
- 1. Thriller Audience Research Analysis 1. The favourite genres from the 12 people who answered the survey was Thriller, Sci-fi and Comedy. I feel that this represents the feelings of most people but to make the answers more reliable I could have told more people about the survey. I looked at the BFI website and was able to find out that in the UK Thrillers are the 3rd favourite film type.
- 2. 2. As you can see from the chart no one dislikes the thriller genre so the overall feel is good. A possibility to find out why people chose ‘good’ could be to ask a question on what aspects of the thriller genre interest the thriller audience. This would find out specifics rather than having a general answer 3. What is your favourite Thriller film? These were the favourite films of the people who responded to the survey. Others specified that they had more than one favourite thriller film. Based off of these findings we based our ideas on the inception movie as our group and the survey respondents all enjoyed the film and the concept
- 3. 4. What aspects of the Thriller genre interest you the most? These three answers were the most relevant and fitted in well with the idea we had of having a mystery man building tension up throughout the title sequence. I feel that the anticipation is enjoyable and keeps you interested in the film. We had an Idea to have our protagonist wear a gas mask as it is mysterious and also may have some meaning behind it. 5. What is your opinion on a psychological thriller? Our group had an Idea to create a psychological Thriller but from research and the responses we had we felt that we would not have the time or the skills to be able to pull it off. We incorporate some elements of a psychological Thriller in our planning and it seemed to go ok but we realised later on we wouldn’t be able to create it in the time period we had.
