Analysing my research

When conducting my research I produced a questionnaire to find out how we are going to fit the thriller elements of what the audience expect.

I asked a range of students aging from 15 – 25. I found that this age range was much more fitted to the thriller genre. This shows that thriller films involve more adult themes which I need to incorporate into my ideas.

I used a variety of open and closed questions to get a wide range of research. When constructing my questions I needed to make sure I could make it specific enough to construct ideas and interpret the results to create the final product.

I found from my research that most preferred thrillers 15 or above. The audience were interested in crime, mystery and horror thriller types but not containing too explicit such as graphic rape or torture and racial offence.

From the research I can conclude that our audience would prefer a more dramatic opening which links to films such as no country for old men which shows intensity not giving much away, adding mystery.

The most common thriller film our audience has chosen is psycho which is a classic horror thriller. It has a very significant opening not going straight into the killings leaving the audience in suspense.

After analyzing the research we need to think of how we can include these results into our own final thriller opening.
