Audience Research analysis

From the data we gathered from our surveys it has been clear that ages can effect what films we like or are interested in as well as what makes a thriller film for us.

Question 1 was to get an idea of the age range we were dealing with and as it turns out most of the people who took the quiz was the correct age range we were aiming for having a mix of teenagers to young adults.

Age from Blitzura

Question 2 was, after distinguishing the age, was to then discover the gender of our audience which was vital in terms of asking about thrillers.As the results show, and as we suspected, the majority of the gender who took the test was males compared to females.  

Male or female? from Blitzura

Question 3 was asked in order to see how many people actually enjoyed thriller films and if they didn't to find out what answers would come next in order to discover why they didn't and perhaps change their mind through the production of soul. However everyone who took the quiz tocked yes for liking thrillers. 

Question 4:

(What is your preferred sub genre)

Sci-Fi	6
Fantasy	3
Romance	0
Horror	3
Crime	3
Mystery	4
Comedy	5

From the results shown in the table with a select few of people chosen from the survey it is clear that sci-fi is the most popular thriller film for 15 – 25 year olds. This could be because sci-fi storylines don’t always have to have truth in them as well as having a lot of freedom with when they can be set for example in an alternate world, future ect.

Graph 2 from Blitzura

From the results show above it’s clear to see that the most important feature in making a good thriller film is a good story line to build up upon. This could be if you do not have a decent set up for your film you cannot make up for this missing important feature by having all of the other options available.

Question 6:

(What wouldn’t you want to see or would spoil the experience for you when watching a thriller film?)

Most of the answers for this question again linked back to the story line where the thing that would spoil it the most ofr anyone is if the story was cliché or offers no development, predictability, twist’s that don’t make sense and if the action of the thriller goes a stray from the original story line.

Question 7:

(if you are going to see a thriller film what aspects keep you interested or wanting to watch it ? )

For this question all most all responses where the story and plus driven action that drives the plot forward whether it's in the right direction or leading to a false lead. furster most of the answeres also said in order to hold up and carry the story to the end and keep audiences attention it has to have great and believable characters.

Question 8: 

(What is your favourite Thriller Film? Why?)

we got a very mixed response for this ranging from Six sense because of the plot twist at the end to Psycho because of it's suspenseful and chilling moments.  

the reason for is asking this question is so we could take a look at other sample films, see what was so great about them and then implement what audiences loved about them into our film while still keeping it's original touch however tweaking a few things to appeal to our target audience better. 

Question 9:

 (If you were going to make a thriller film of your own what would you be sure to include )

                      

Good actors	4
Interesting story line	6
Eye catching	3
Plot twists	4
Decent effects	3

if you made a thriller film of your own from Blitzura

We decided to ask these pacific questions so that in the production and planning of our own thriller film we would be able to avoid mistakes that other films in the past have made which perhaps could have been marketed and sold better if they improved something or if a specific feature was taken out could of made the film a block buster.

We indeed took these results and put them to good use for our planning, making sure we focused a lot of attention on the story line, making sure it made complete sense as well as grabbing for our target audience. Also trying to maintain a unique feel to it as we set out to make a thriller film not obvious and straight forward as most from others.

In response to the answers we got from this we then made sure to check over our story and make many alterations to further enhance it's meanings, themes, plots and over all intenseness while at the same time adding in a major plot twist towards the end. This was made to surprise the audience as the response showed us that this was a favoured subject in the questionnaire despite the story line being well written; which in our opinion was vital anyway. 

Further more the preferred genre was Sci-fi while following that was mystery which also played in with the alterations of the story line. We made sure that these sub genres where mixed in with the already existing story line in order to appeal to a wider audience as well as keep it interesting with serving many plot twist's and unexpected events.
