Both Hannah and myself have created a questionnaire to help us decide upon what an ideal thriller film would be like for our peer group. We asked 30 people so we would receive adequate and accurate results. The results are as followed.
1. How often do you watch films?
a) Weekly - 10
b) Monthly - 17
c) Yearly - 3
2. What genre of film do you mainly like to watch?
a) Romance - 0
b) Thriller - 4
c) Comedy - 6
d) Horror - 10
e) Adventure - 3
f) Action - 2
g) Sci-fi - 5
3. On a scale of 1-5 (1 being not very much, 5 being a lot) How much does the opening of a film influence whether you will continue watching or not?
a) 1 - 1
b) 2 - 0
c) 3 - 0
d) 4 - 5
e) 5 - 24
4. Does having a narrative enigma at the beginning of a film make you want to continue watching it more?
a) Yes - 29
b) No - 1
5. Do you prefer the main protagonists of the films to be - ?
a) Female - young - 13
b) Male - young - 3
c) Female - older - 2
d) Male - older - 12
6. What plot line in thrillers interests you the most?
a) Stalkers - 10
b) Murders - 16
c) Kidnappings - 2
d) Corrupt officials - 2
7. A good setting for a scene in a thriller would be - ?
a) Dingy Alleyway - 11
b) Courtyard/Old house - 6
c) Park at night - 4
d) Run down building - 9
From these results we deduce that the majority of our peers would like to see a horror/thriller film which would, with the use of a practical narrative enigma, keep them 'glued to their seats' from the introduction to the film. Also there should be the use of a young female and an older male involved with or as the main protagonist. A murder or crime plot would be ideal and a dingy alleyway with scenes in a run down building would keep the audience interested in the film.
