Responses for our survey

Our group gathered up our survey results and surprisingly got quite a few responses which I was not expecting. However some people responses were not very helpful and will not be used when summarizing the answers.

In the first question we asked 'What is your gender'?

 From this we can see that 64% were female and the remaining 38% were male. I'm glad however people took the time to help us out with our research.











The second question was ' How old are you?'

 We had a number of categories for people to choose for their age and surprisingly got a quite a variety not just the norm. 5% being under 16, 49% being between the age of 16-30 this was the highest percentage out of all 5 groups. 31-45 we got 26%, 46-60 was 13% and even 13% in 61+. This was quite a success as we have a number of people different views and opinions of all different ages.






'What things do you enjoy most about thrillers?' This was our third question and it got a number of different opinions ranging from blood and violence to psychological plot twists. Suspense was put in a number of people's answers so our group would be silly not to include that. Someone said car chases and intricate plots, although I think it would be hard for us to film a car chase it was a very good opinion and intricate plot will be very helpful for us.


We got another graph for this next question, ' What is your favourite sub-genre of thriller?'

A number of suggestions were made here;
Conspiracy Thriller = 5%
Political Thriller = 18%
Erotic Thriller = 3%
Supernatural Thriller = 5%
Psychological Thriller = 26%
Crime Thriller = 26%
Action Thriller = 10%
Other = 8%

To make this question better when people stated 'other' we should have asked what their preference was but other than that I believe we got a good range of results.


Our penultimate question was 'Based on your answer for the previous question, what is it about this sub genre that you like so much?' I think this was a really good question to ask and we got all kinds of responses such as; 'I chose crime thriller because you can try and solve the mystery throughout the film and it's not usually what you expect' and 'Sci fi, I like the use of special effects and that it can be anywhere that the film is made and that anything can really happen' Of course we will take the time to read each of your responses and take them all into consideration when deciding what to make our thriller.


Finally the last question we asked was 'What do you expect from the opening of a thriller?' Unfortunately some people wrote some unhelpful things but luckily it was only one or two responses. People suggested things like ' music to be dark and the opening to start the confusion of whats to come' and 'a scene that either develops the main characters or the crime itself - enough information to get me interested' most of the responses were really helpful and our group will certainly look at each of them when considering what to include in our opening


Thankyou for helping us with our research it was really helpful.
