Questionnaire Results & Feedback

We put this question on to see what type of audience we would attract. Half of the people who did the questionnaire where 10-19 so we will make our audience our age group (16-18 yrs old).

Most of the people who did the questionnaire were students so we will aim to make the film attract a younger audience.

We asked this question to find out if our audience like books and what kind. In our results we found that 6/10 people read books regularly and that they like all sorts of books. One person wrote that they like James Patterson books as they have action/suspense in so we will try and include that.

We asked this question as we wanted to know if they were watching films regularly and keeping up to date with whats new. Most of the people did watch a lot of films so they knew about any new thriller films that were coming out.

This question made it clear on what genre people watch. Although not a lot said thriller, they did put other genres that fit down e.g. action films.

Only 1 person said they didn't like thrillers. Most people said they enjoy thriller films which is good as it means they will enjoy ours. 

This was a very good question to ask as this determined what out thriller would be. As most people said that psychological thriller was their favourite we decided to make ours a psychological/conspiracy thriller. 

This was the most vital question as we wanted to know what people enjoy in thrillers. Most people said a good plot and one that is tension building so we will focus on that when planning our thriller.

By asking what they expect we can use this to make ours more appealing to an audience. The majority said they wanted to have tension/suspense while others said that they wanted to ask a lot of questions.

We asked this question to see whether different styles of music effect people. Most people said that dramatic and tense music was best. Some people who put other though said that classical music would also work well. We will try and include both.





We are going to use the results for our thriller by researching what the audience want. We will also base out thriller sub-genre around what people want.

Titles

Editing

We have edited most of the footage and have just got to put in our titles. We still need to found some music and we were maybe thinking of doing a monologue over the top to show what's happening so it doesn't confuse our audience too much. We have all had a look at some music and will hopefully find some that will fit.

Re-filming

We re-filmed on Sunday (8th of December) and it went much better than last time. We ended up getting more footage and more variation of shots. We also did a lot of landscape shots which we felt set the scene a bit more. We did use some of the old footage for some of it and we couldn't replicate the creepy board. We did unfortunately have a little set back but as we had the whole day to film we went back and corrected it. I like how the footage we have used has had a pretty good outcome and how the whole opening is coming together.

Re-filming on Sunday

We filmed our thriller opening on the 28^th of November. On the Friday when we uploaded our footage on the mac we realised that we had missed a lot out and that we didn’t have enough footage to make up 2 mins for our opening. We are now going to re-film on Sunday (8^th of December) and do it all again plus get the shots that we were missing and try and get more footage. We are going to use a different person to play in it (Aimee)  so that Libby can do some filming as well. We are also going to improve:

• Establishing shots of the scenery and place we are filming
• Set the scene a bit more
• Get more variation of shots
• More reaction shots of Aimee

• Get the creepy display board and improve it
• Use make-up to make the hand look more lifeless
• Get more effective close-ups
• Shot reverse shot
• Do titles at the beginning
• Spend longer looking at the clothes
