1. Research analysis
By Jade Matthews

2. Purpose.
The purpose of doing this questionnaire was to find out
what people from my target audience liked and disliked
about thriller movies so that my group and I know what
we should include in our thriller movie. The ages
ranged from 15 – 30 with a few people older. The
questionnaire was fairly short with only 10 questions to
answer and most of them being closed questions
therefore it was quick and easy.

3. Age and Gender representation.

4. What sub genre do you prefer to
watch?
As you can see from these results, most of the
people liked romance, psychological and
action. This is important information to have
as we now know that we should try to include
at least one of these three genres in our film.
8 people said psychological, 7 said romance
and 6 said action so we should try and include
a little of all three sub genres so that we have
a much larger range of target audience.

5. What do you like about thrillers?
The majority of people prefer action in
thrillers therefore we will include action
scenes in the film. This will keep the
majority of viewers contempt. We will also
make sure that the story line is interesting.
Lastly, we will have to slightly pay attention
to the soundtrack and special effects
although many people won’t mind too
much about the quality of these bits and
most likely won’t pay attention to it.

6. What do you dislike about thrillers?
Most people don’t like special effects
because they feel that it takes away the
realistic element of the film. Also, they feel
that the soundtrack is not too important
especially when there is dialogue therefore
noises and music is not needed.

7. What time period do you prefer the
film to be set in?
The majority of people prefer the time setting to
be modern (2000’s) which means that in our film
all the props and costume can be suited to
modern day society as it is set in roughly the same
time. People also like the idea of it being set in the
future which means if we wanted to set our film in
the future then we could use props and costumes
that represent aliens and anything “futuristic”.

8. Do you like thrillers?
The fact that the majority of people do like
thrillers proves that this particular genre is
still popular.

9. Who is your favourite thriller director?
Most of the people told us that Quentin
Taratino is their favourite thriller director
therefore we can try to make our thriller in
some ways similar to his work and also, we
can try to use some of his ideas and see how
he normally decides how to do his films.
