Questionnaire analysis
Through my collection of results I have found out many
things about the target audience I have chosen. One thing I have found out from
my questionnaire is that teenagers seem to prefer thrillers that have a lot of
explosions and dramatic twists in them. From this I have gathered that they
prefer movies such as action and catastrophe movies as well as ones that create
a sense of uneasiness such as psychological thrillers. This has helped me adapt
my opening as I will now add in parts that may confuse the audience as well as
parts that create a sense of pace such as a chase which I may now incorporate.
I have also found out from my research that my target
audience also seem to enjoy thrillers that have a sense of mystery in them as
well as fear. This is most evident as two of my questionnaire participants
chose thrillers that have a lot of darkness in them (Seven and The Woman in
Black). This has also made me think about how I can adjust lighting as both of
these movies have very dark parts in them which may fit in with my chosen
genre.
Another thing I have found out from my questionnaire is that
slow dramatic music seems to be a favourite over fast paced music. This means
that my audience prefer to have a sense of mystery and tension as slow music
creates both of these if used correctly. This has made me think about how fast I
need the music to be as to not spoil the whole piece which is aimed at teenagers.
I have also found out that rain could work during my thriller;
however his may be hard to do unless it is raining. However, one of my original
ideas of a black and white filter when from the monsters view may not be as
effective as colour as I have found out from my questionnaire that teenagers do
not think a black and white filter will work in a thriller so I may have to
adjust my idea for the monsters view.
In conclusion, I have learnt that teenagers seem to prefer
fast paced action and confusion but do not enjoy the faced paced music of them
and they think slower paced could be used to greater effect. I have also found out that I may have to
adjust some original ideas I had to fit their needs. This means I will have to
adapt my thriller opening to fit their specification’s or come close to them.
