Results
Age:
Our sample was mainly in the ’15-21’ age category. This was mainly for convenience as it was easier to ask our peers to partake in the questionnaire as they were in college with us at the time that we created the questionnaire. They seem to have a similar intake on thrillers as we do but with some variations.
How often do you watch films? :
This shows that the people we asked watched a film at least once a week if not every other day. Also showing that they have some knowledge about film and are likely to watch many different genres and have a lot of knowledge and opinions on thriller films and the conventions that they would like to see.
What is your preferred genre? :
When we asked people this question they said that they had more than one preferred genre and that it depended on the mood they were in. But from the results given most people had preference to comedy. Perhaps because comedies are easy-watching and keep people entertained without having to put too much thought into it.

When watching a thriller what do you expect? :
The majority of people replied that they expected to not know whats coming to keep them guessing, so it is useful to take that into account and live up to the expectations of the audience. However, only filming the first 2 minutes means that we can’t give away too much of the story.

How do thrillers make you feel? :
Most people said that they tend to be scared when they watch thriller films. This could be for many different reasons such as the jumpy scenes and not knowing what to expect. People are prone to get scared when they feel something is not right and when they do not know what is happening.

This shows that people expect a huge twist at the end of the films with people making reference to ‘The Sixth Sense’ and ‘Shutter Island’.
Do explicit images make more of an impact than subtle implicit shots?
The majority of people said that the diegetic sounds make more of an impact on them than actually being able to see a graphic shot.
