Questionnaire Results

2. THINGS TO CONSIDER
In the research I conducted over 50% of the participants are aged 16. This
means we, as a group, will have to ensure that our movie opening is
suited to the requirements of that age group as that is the majority of
the audience and also the youngest age group. Moreover, 10% of the
participants do not even enjoy Thriller movies but of the sub genres of
thriller movies they selected we Comedy and Spy meaning that if we
incorporate this into our piece of media we can cater to all of our target
audience- if of course we have a cross section of the population that is
generalisable.

3. WHY I CONDUCTED THE QUESTIONNAIRE
I made this questionnaire in order to gain an insight
into the type of Thriller movies people prefer.
Also, to find out the key components of these
movies so that I could ensure that I incorporate
these into my own groups work.

4. IMPLICATIONS OF RESULTS
From my results I have conclusive evidence that peoples favourite Thriller
movie sub-genre is psychological Thrillers, 40% of the volunteers that
took part in my questionnaire ticked this option. The second most
preferred was the Crime sub-genre at 30% , meaning that the
majority(70%) of the volunteers preferred the Psychological/Crime sub-genres.
This links onto the next question of my questionnaire where I asked
peoples favourite Thriller movies and over 50% chose a movie
belonging to the Batman franchise and a significant amount also chose
Inception. This consolidates the findings of my other question as the
majority of participants preferred Batman and Inception which both
contain elements of the Psychological/Thriller sub-genres.
Furthermore, the actors people selected to be in their ideal Thriller movie
were not very varied and linked very well to the answers from the
previous questions as 70%, equal to the amount of people that chose
Psychological/Crime, said they would have Christian Bale of the
Batman franchise and Leonardo Di Caprio of Inception star in their ideal
Thriller movies.

5. IMPLICATIONS OF RESULTS CONT...
From the research I conducted I can also see that 70% of people think a
Thriller movie should be set in the city rather than in the countryside or
woods, it may have been more useful to have made that question open
as I may have restrained participants to the options I gave i.e. There
was no option for it being set in an alternate universe.
I also asked a question on the elements that they felt would be most
appropriate for a Thriller movie and just over 60% said that a Thriller
movie’s main elements should be Mystery or Enigma or Suspense all of
which I will try to incorporate in my piece of work.
