We handed out 25 of our questionnaires to friends, family members, neighbours and also people who go to our extra curricular clubs that we attend outside of school. Therefore, we were able to get an accurate and fair sample of results full of varying sexes, age ranges and even better, opinions.
From our questionnaire we found that on average males found thriller films more entertaining than females around the ages of 16-18 and 19-21. We also found that males watch many more films compared to females, with most people in this catagory watching at least one film a week. We found that people in the 10-12 age catagory (who are allowed to watch certificate 15's) did not find thriller movies as entertaining. We concluded that this may be because they may find the plot confusing or even a tad too scary. We also found this with females in general and people above the age of 30, perhaps because they do not have enough time to watch films as they may lead very busy lives with jobs and family. We therefore came to the conclusion that our film should be more aimed towards males in their mid-teens to early twenties.
We also observed other patterns within our questionnaire. We found that females found the frights and jumps the most fun and entertaining parts within the film, and the thrill of not knowing what comes next. However, for males they seemed to prefer the action, the twisted plots, and the gory side of thrillers. We discussed this as a group and concluded that our film should include things that will attract both male and female audiences, so our aim is to plan an opening sequence that includes all these thriller conventions to make it as successful as possible.
