1) Are you Male or Female?

We appeared top ask more males therefore our results will be more biased to males.



2) What is your favourite colour?

In Question two the answers to this question are necessary because we now know the colours that people like most, we are going to use this information to create the end credits of our piece. Therefore our credits will need to be red.


3) Do you prefer death in the: Beginning, middle or end?

Question three helped a lot because it got us the knowledge to know were our audience would like to see a death, this is now helpful to us as we know that our audience would like to see this at the beginning so we need to consider this.

5) When credits are big and central, do you feel they get in the way?

These results are quite even so what we do would be up to us.


6) Should the killer be revealed in the beginning?

This question had a choice. We will not reveal the killer as this is what the audience want.

7) Do you prefer none-linear or linear? (Chronological or mixed order)

More people prefer to have a linear thriller so therefore we should take this into consideration.

8) Do you prefer sound effects, music or both?

The audience would prefer both so we will have to take this into consideration.

10) Do you prefer male or female protagonists?

The audience like both but more male. Therefore we should consider this in our thriller.

11) Does graphic violence put you off?

By this we meant any gore or harsh violent scenes that become hazardly dangerous, would these put you off watching the film? We can see by the graph that it would not affect the majority of the audience. As it does not put the audience off we should consider this.

12) Do you prefer 15 or 18 certificates?

Onto question twelve where we asked “do you prefer an 18 or 15 rated certificate film?” and as you can see by our results the majority would prefer a 15, yet this is only 1 more person that the 18 rated certificate. We would have to think about this and put the answer into consideration.

13) What is your favourite thriller?

For question 13, we gave a multiple choice question, this is crucial to our research as we can find out now more about the thrillers will give us knowledge about the kinds of things people would like to see in a thriller film. Seven was the favourite choice so we should model our thriller on seven.

14) What is your least favourite thriller?

We must make sure that we do not base our thriller on things such as things that are in Angels and demons as this is the least favourite thriller.

15) Do you prefer a film that slowly builds suspense like jaws or one that has a lot of frequent jumps in it like Halloween?

We had a two answer question and as we can see by the majority vote on the graph people would prefer a suspense building thriller to one that is frequently jumpy. We will have to try to build suspense like this.

16) Do you prefer seeing what the characters see through point of view shots?
We will try to consider filming what the character sees as our audience likes this.


17) Do you prefer to be sympathetic to the killer, or do you like the killer to be sadistic?

As you can see on our graph of question 17, more people would rather have a sadistic killer than sympathetic. This allows us to create more ideas onto our thriller and also make it better to what the audience want to see during our film. We will consider this when we are creating our thriller.

18) Are swear words appropriate?

We asked this because in our planning we wondered why swear words would be used, and what effect would they create along with the eerie music etc we had in our film. As you can tell, the audience would rather have swear words in; as yes is the favourite answer we must consider this in our thriller.

19) Are weapons necessary?

As these results are close to each other, we shall have to make this decision.

20) Do you like flashbacks during the thriller to allow you to see what has happened previously?

Finally, question 20 we asked “do you like flashbacks at the beginning of a thriller to allow you to see what has happened previously?” Our audience mostly picked yes, therefore we will consider flashbacks.
