Audience Questionnaire & Analysis

I wrote up a questionaire to discover what my target audience liked in their films and that would appeal to them if they wanted to watch a thriller film.

What age group are you in?

0-10 (1)

11-15 (2)

16-26 (6)

27-37 (0)

38-50 (1)

50+ (0)

I asked more 16-26 year olds because they are more of my target audience and are the kind of target audience that would watch a thriller film.

What film genre do you prefer? (2 choices)

Thriller (7)

Romantic (4)
Comedy (5)
Crime (3)
Action/Adventure (1)

I had asked 20 people to pick two of their favourites genres of film to contribute to my thriller research. The thriller genre got the most votes out of the five genres, thus proving that it is most popular for 16-26 year olds in this case.

What sub genre of thriller films do you particularly enjoy?
Crime Thriller- (2)
Action Thriller- (3)
Medical Thriller-(7)
Sci Fi Thriller-(3)
Psychological Thriller- (3)
Other- (2)

The research shows that a medical thriller is most popular, this means maybe including disease or infection in the film. This could possibly help our ideas for the opening scene of the thriller we make.

How often do you watch films?
Daily (1)

Weekly (11)
Monthly (8)
Yearly (0)

What was the last film you saw at the cinema, out of these films? (as many as you’ve seen)

The King’s Speech (6)

Love and other drugs (4)

Tangled (3)

True Grit (2)

Black Swan (14)

The Fighter (12)

Black Swan is the highest picked film with 14 votes, Black Swan could be classed as a thriller which proves it is the genre of film people will want to go and watch.
