Questionnaires

Questionnaire

 

 

 

 

Questionaires are a very good way for the public to voice their own opion on a topic. Our questionaire covered many of basic questions which would be asked and these are all important in the making of our thriller film. Our questionaire helped us as a group a lot as it showed us the different types of themes and how much blood and gory people enjoyed watching. Many of the answers were different as we asked a group of people who varied in age, ranging from 12 to mid 40s. This helped us to understand the difference between what a 12 year old would expect to see in a thriller to what a 30 year old would. Also by doing this it helped us to know what sort of age group we are looking at making our thriller for and what would be appropriate to include. Our questionaire gave us an insight to the preffered themes and story lines of a thriller and what would be best for us to do.

We chose to survey 40 people in total as this gave us a wide range of people of male and female of all different ages, this way we can see what would have been appropriate for a person of 12 or a person of 30. It made it clear to see what people expect to see and what they preffer to watch in a thriller. We shared this information within our group and it made it easier for us to decide of a theme and age group which we would aim our thriller for.
