I created and distributed with the help of my group, a thriller questionaire which would ask our target audience what they wanted and expected from a typical thriller. We collected and examined the results and made graphs and pie charts accordingly to more thoroughly examine the results to help us create the thriller.
Verbal Questionaire Answers
We asked equal numbers of boys and girls, 15 of each gender which helped make the questionaire less bias and helped give more reliable results.
The typical age group asked was aged 15-20, which helped created a rating certificate for the film.
12 out of the 30 prefered Action Thrillers compared to Crime, Supernatural and Psychological, though Psychological was a close second, so we combined the two to create our thriller.
14 people out of the 30 prefer to have two main characters, one male, and one female and this helped establish what kind of character we will have.
The two main aspects of a thriller chosen were cliffhangers at 11 choices, and Plot twists at 17 choices, so in order to comply with this, we created a plot twist which would hopefully shock the audience.
12 out of 30 feared insects more than anything else.
17 out of the 30 disliked clichés in thrillers, so we attempted to make our thriller slightly different to normal ones.
26 out of the 30 prefer to see a death rather than simply hearing about it so in the threatment, we make is clear that the deaths are seen and not just heard.
13 out of 30 prefer to hear violins as background music.
14 out of 30 people prefer Assassins as characters.
16 out of 30 dislike the police as characters.
When given the choice between fast or slow paced music or silence, the majority (15) chose fast paced.
There was a wide variety of choices for location, but the highest noted one was houses, abandoned or not.
21 of the 30 prefer to have adult victims.
29 of 30 think that plot twists are essential in thriller movies.
27 of the 30 beleive that night is the best setting for a thriller.
