Questionnaire Results

I asked a different range of people at different ages so I would get some variety in my results as people who are in different age groups usually have a different opinion to people in a different age group to them. This is important because it helps me decide where my target audience should be in the age groups.




I asked both males and females to get slightly different views as usually males have different ideas to females. I tried to ask the same amount of females as males to get an even viewpoint and to not get too much of gender-biased results.

I asked a range of people in different jobs so I would get a different perspective for the questionnaire results. This is important because it also helps me figure out who my target audience should be and what job title they would have.






I asked people whether or not they read books to find out if the amount of books people read influence the films they watch or the amount of films they watch.

These are the types of genre of books the people that answered yes read. This can tell us what type of books people who watch films read.

I asked the people whether they watched a lot of films and this is what they answered.


I then asked the people who answered the questionnaire what genre of movies they watch. About a quarter answered with thriller and another quarter answered action. This tells me that these are the most popular genre out of the choices that were given to the audience.





The audience was asked if they liked thriller films and three quarters of them said yes. This means that I should be able to get a lot of different answers for the questionnaire.

The audience prefer action thrillers to the other sub genres they were given the choice to pick. This suggests that our audience would prefer a action thriller then any other type of thriller.






I asked the audience what they think makes a good thriller. Each person answered with a different suggestion which is helpful for us because it means we have a lot of different techniques to try.

I also asked the audience what they expect from a thriller and they gave me a lot of different answers. This is helpful because it gives us a lot of ideas for editing techniques.







I asked them this question so my group could get the right techniques for the opening so that we can make the audience want to watch the rest of the film.

I asked them what they thought we shouldn't include in our opening and the audience answered with some good ideas for what to not include in the opening. This is helpful because it means we can not include something that is going to put someone off our thriller.







I asked them this question because it would be useful to know whether or not we should make the opening longer then 2 minutes so we can grab the audiences attention or not. About one third said no and one third said yes.

So I asked the people that said yes why they thought two minutes was enough time to persuade you to watch the rest of the movie and got interesting results that are doable. This is helpful because it gives us ideas on how to get our audience to want to watch the rest of the film and how much time it can take.



I asked them this question to give us an idea of what type of music to use in our opening and the majority of the people said we should use dramatic/tension building music. This is helpful because it means when we are editing the opening we know what type of music are audience want and this will influence our choices.
