11. Questionnaire data analysed
In our questionnaire we had five males and nine females, all in the age
range of 16-17. We wanted to have this age of people answering our
questionnaire as our opening scene is aimed at teenagers.
The majority of people said that they liked psychological thrillers the
most, and the rest got three votes, apart from ‘other’ which got two.
Three males voted for psychological thrillers and two females voted, I
expected more males to vote psychological thrillers than women as males
are more likely to want to see this sub-genre.
