This questionnaire will help us with creating our thriller film opening as we now know what our target audience is looking for in a thriller opening. Above is the video of the interview and list of questions asked.
The results we got from this interview were quite interesting and very helpful to us. Chloe found out that not everyone likes the thriller genre but for the people who do, some prefer the horror thrillers that involve murder, violence and creepy and gruesome scenes. She found out that people are kept engaged when there is a twist to the film, and when theres a lot of action. Also the audience like it when the film is very tensed but when she interviewed someone they said no becuase they do not really like the thriller genre. Chloe also found out that the audience find it more effective when there is music in the opening as it can create tension and suspense and that it can sometimes be effective if an over voice is used at somepoint in the opening.
From this questionnaire we have learnt that most people do like the thriller genre and the people that do are more or less round the same age, it is mostly teenagers and young adults who watch thriller films. This questionnaire will help us in our production as we have now got useful information about our target audience, we know what elements we need to include to make our thriller opening appealing and effective.
From this questionnaire Emily found out that some people don't watch the thriller genre because they think that it plays on peoples mind and that it plays with there fear. On the other hand, they like to watch thrillers such as Dexter because they like how the main character is good but can be sinister and evil. One person quoted "it keeps you on the edge of your seat" which I personally think it does because it makes you wonder what is going to happen, who will survive etc.
Emily also found out that thrillers can be too scary and if an opening to a thriller film was too scary then they may not watch it.
