I had previously created a survey on www.surveymonkey.com . I asked a total of nine questions , hoping that people's answers would help me to understand target audience and maybe different aspects I should use within my own thriller. The responses were :
From these responses, the information we can gather is that; we should be aiming our ideas for our thriller within the 16-20 range. That on average people go to the cinema once or twice a week, which works out to roughly 4-8 times a month. We can also see that from the replies, these partiuclar people enjoy to watch thrillers. The fears people had were - 3 for spiders, 1 for clowns, 1 for sharp things, 1 for enclosed spaces and 1 for hospitals, from this we can see that the fear of spiders is fairly common. It seemed that Alfred Hitchcock was popular among the answers for peoples favourite thrillers. We can also see that people enjoy to watch thrillers that have enigmas, that keep you on the edge of your seat to see what happens next and the mystery within them. It seemed that more of the vote was 'Psychological', for being peoples favourite type of thriller, with conspiracy being second. And finally it was a fairly even vote for whether people would rather play a villian or hero in a thriller, with 'hero' just scraping by with an extra vote.
