This bar graph of my data shows that
women may be more interested in thriller
films than men as 55% of people that took the
survey were female. This may mean that
women go to the cinema more than men
because women usually go to films in
groups or with a friend or boyfriend, therefore leading to
their interest in thriller movies and taking my survey.
Q1:
According to the data it appears that psychological thriller is the most popular sub genre as it has the highest percentage at 30%.
This data helps with the creation of my thriller opening as now I can use psychological conventions which will appeal most to my
audience as this was the favourite option. This may be the most
popular response because this is a very popular thriller genre
meaning it is created more than other genres so viewers would
come across this genre more often, influencing their decision.
Q2:
By analysing this data I can infer that The Call is a very popular film within my target audience of 15-24. This data helps with my thriller opening as it means that I can analyse the conventions used in
The Call and use them to my advantage to create
an opening that will entice my target audience
and persuade a good reaction.
Q3:
According to the data I have collected I can infer that my target audience would prefer
the location of a thriller film to be in a city rather than a
countryside, dark area or light area; this is as it got the highest percentage at 40%. This helps with the creation of my thriller
film as this means I can base my thriller film around a city
location to appeal to my target audience. This may be the most popular as some people may be
fearful of dark areas as they would get scared easily so this would be most popular, and an
area with a lot happening in such as a city would make a
viewer more comfortable
Q4:
Due to the data I have gathered I can assume
that my target audience prefer a male in the
leading role in contrast to a female; this may be
because it is very stereotypical for a male to be in the main role. This means that I can
have a male in the leading role to appeal to my target audience and keep with stereotypes.
Q5:
It appears that my target audience prefer a male as the antagonist in a thriller as 80% of
my responses were male. This may be
because it is stereotypical for the antagonist to be a
powerful male which may have influenced their responses. This
means that I can have a male as an antagonist to
appeal to my target audience.
Q6:
By this data I can infer that 45% of the
respondents that took my survey chose
neutral. This does not help with the creation of my movie opening
as if most chose strongly agree, I could make the opening very
scary and provoke emotion out of my target audience.
Q7:
I can infer that most respondents in my target
audience prefer a plot twist in a thriller movie. This would help in the
creation of my opening as I can use a plot twist in the opening to create a sense of mystery and
provoke emotion out of the viewer to attract
interest.
Q8:
The data in this graph allows me to
understand that I could put hints of the plot in the opening scene to
provoke interest in the audience. This could be
the most popular as this is where plot
twists and suspense happens which is
proven to be my target audience’s favourite
parts of a thriller movie.
Q9:
I can infer from this data that my target
audience prefer suspense to be built
moderately slow before a potential
jump scare. I can use this in my opening to create false peaks of
suspense and also scare the viewer.
