Our questionnaire showed us that our target audience prefer their thrillers to be fast paced rather than slow paced. This is most likely because fast paced thrillers are a lot more exciting than slow paced because of the tension and excitement that can be created through fast paced action or drama.
Most of the people that we asked said that they would prefer our film to have a minimal amount of dialogue rather than a substantial amount. This is most likely because when hardly any dialogue is being used in a thriller, it creates a sense of wonder which eventually builds tension and suspense.
Most of our target audience said that they prefer suspense over surprise, however taking this into thought suspense eventually tends to lead to surprise anyway. We will take this thought into account when creating our thriller so that our clip is mainly based around suspense rather than surprise.
Rather than having a large cast of characters, our target audience all agreed to having a small number of key characters. This is so that the film is more focused on the storyline of the main characters and so that the audience don't lose interest.
The questionnaire showed us that 5 people preferred thrillers to be filmed at night, whilst the other 5 preferred thrillers to be filmed in the day. However, taking into account the safety of our actors, crew and equipment the more sensible option would be filming in the day rather than night to avoid any incidents or dangers.
Our target audience showed that they would prefer an action-based thriller to a horror-based thriller. This is most likely because they prefer fast paced thrillers to slow paced as well. However myself and the rest of the group should make sure that the thriller is not too fast paced for the audience so that there isn't enough time for a decent storyline to be created.
The majority of the people we asked said that they would prefer our thriller to be shot realistically (realistically meaning 'as if you were there') rather than abstract. This is most likely because our audience prefer to have situations that they can imagine themselves in so that they understand the storyline or characters better.
About 80% of the people we asked said that they would prefer our thriller to have a soundtrack with music and dialogue.
This question showed us that our target audience would prefer our thriller to have a dramatic and climatic soundtrack in oppose to a normal subtle soundtrack. This is most likely because the subtle soundtrack could not build up as much tension as a climatic soundtrack could.
Our target audience said that they would prefer our characters identities to be hidden in our film rather than blatantly exposed at the very beginning. This is most likely because they would prefer our characters identities to remain hidden so that there is an air of suspicion around them.
Everyone who was asked said that they would prefer to have opening credits at the beginning of the film. Most likely because this would give the film a more serious and realistic appearance.
Most of everyone who we asked said that they would prefer the credits to role slowly rather than quickly. Presumably, this is so that they will have enough time to read them and also because it will add to the dramatic effect of the thriller.
From the questionnaire we can see that the Rage Italic font was the most popular out of the selection of fonts we considered using for the opening credits. However it seems that this font is slightly difficult to read which could cause problems later on during editing, therefore this font may have to be reconsidered.
The most popular choice for this question was the River/Lakeside option. However we may have to reconsider this due to the time limits and our group members availabilities.
