Questionnaire Results

The majority of people we surveyed were male (60%). All participants were aged between 16-19 years old. 70% of the sample were White, 10% were African, 15% were Pakistani and 5% were Indian.
The whole sample was categorized as Working Middle Class citizens in the social grade. They all expected to see blood, suspense and explosions in a classic thriller. Only a minority (20%) expected to see some sort of love interest in a thriller. When we put the question across of what genre would you prefer the people's immediate reaction to answer thriller. Hence this would reflect on the amount of males we surveyed for our questionnaire.
Most people have seen the movies Scary movie, Jaws and God father these are typical common thrillers. Scary movie is a Warner Bros production this could also have some sort of impact on the success of the film as Warner Bros are a very huge American film company.
People felt that God father, Jaws and Scary movie were the most successful thrillers of all times. Jaws was chosen as the all time favourite prouduction this is still classed as the best in today's generation. The results are a reflection on the popularity and success of the film it won alot of awards and made alot of money. The number of people are visting the cinema has increased alot of people prefer watching films on a big screen they like the whole theatre effect. There are alot of pirate copies of DVD'S around but still the increase in sales of cinemas have not been affected by this.
Overall the genre thriller was most popular amongst all the people we surveyed. This gives us a reflection of what our target audience would expect to see in a classic thriller. This has helped us alot in our planning of our production of the three minute sequel tas we are given.
