Thriller questionnaire analysis




This question was asked to identify the gender of the participants that answered the questionnaire. Different genders would require slightly different content within a thriller film therefore an equal amount of males and females were asked to eliminate bias.



This information was obtained to see the age that the thriller would suit. Although most of the people asked were between the ages og 16-18, the content of our thriller would be suitable for 15 year olds therefore we intented to aim at an audience of 15 and above to give the film a wider range of viewers.

This question provided information that the thriller genre is a common one amongst many people with the majority of the people asked watching a thriller film once every two weeks.This means the viewers would be familiar with the conventions and could be critical of a thriller which would not meet the general requirements.
This question was asked in order to establish the most popular sub-genre which the thriller film could be based on.The results show that the crime and psychological genre are the two most chosen therefore the film will involve a thriller involving psychological and crime aspects.
The results of this question provided information of the viewers being tense as well as scared during most thrillers. In order to create a conventional thriller, both of these 'feelings' would need to be achieved.
This information was used to determine the best location for the thriller film, according to the expectations of the audience.The results show that a real life situation is the one that was chosen most however it would have a greater impact if it was combined with the other ideas which also received a high rating.
This information was required to gain the most effective ideas for the thriller. The results show that mystery is the most wanted element therefore it would be involved within the thriller film. Danger and violence being the second most common element would also be included.
The information from this question allowed an idea of what the target audience is looking when regarding the character of the villain. These expectations can then be met when creating the character's representation.
The results of this question show that the audience is most interested by themes such as mentality which links back to the psychological genre as well as the aspect of jealousy.






This question displays the viewers' thoughts on an effective opening; the majority of people having chosen an everyday life situation. This is most likely due to a realistic opening being more relatable and therefore feared of.

  1. You need to analyse your results - what did you discover and how will use this audience research to inform the planning of your thriller opening?
