Here are the numbers of the people's responses displayed in an excel document. From this we can create pie charts and other graphs.
The pie chart shows the data for the first question which was 'What is your gender?' from this pie chart we can see that there are a lot more males than there were girls. Over 3/4 of the people who filled in the questionnaire were males.
This pie chart shows that out of all the other age categories all of them were 16 to 24 who took the questionnaire which is good as it is in the bracket for our target audience, so all of the other questions that they responded to will be useful as they are our target audience.
This bar chart shows us the data for the third question 'What do you enjoy about thrillers?' It shows the number of people who gave the same or similar response. We can see that they like the build up of a thriller film and thinking about the plot. We can reflect on this when doing our practical work as we can produce an opening sequence where tension builds up but then the opening sequence would end after two minutes which leaves the audience to make them want to watch the film and leaves them thinking about what the plot could be.
The next graph shows us the data for 'How many thriller films do you watch a month?' As we can see quite a few people don't watch thriller films or find it rare to watch thriller films. This doesn't help us as those people don't seem to watch thrillers and could imply they don't like them so some of their responses could be irrelevant for us. However there are loads of people that watch a few thriller films a month, implying that they enjoy them so their responses could be useful so we can reflect on their other responses for our practical task.
This pie chart shows us what our target audience thinks is the most important element in a opening sequence for a thriller. Most people seem to think that low key lighting is the most important feature in an opening sequence for a thriller. We can reflect on this and use a lot of key lighting for our practical work when needed. Low key lighting can represent the character's personality. However, we can use the other conventions of an opening sequence for a thriller as well. Close ups would be a good way of withholding information.
The bar chart shows the number of people who stated different locations of where they would expect a thriller film to be set. Most people said a creepy building like and abandoned house or creepy church etc. This information may not be useful to us as when we are doing our practical it will be on the genre of a thriller. Creepy building may tend too much towards horror as creepy buildings can be quite frightening. However a lot of people said a street, this can be more relative with a thriller as a crime could be committed and their could be a case where the roads are all taped off.
This graph shows us the number of responses for the question 'What gender and ethnicity do you expect the protagonist to be?' The data shows that the majority of the people said a white may which is a stereotype of what the protagonist should be in the film. We can reflect on this by getting a character of this gender and ethnicity so it is up to the audience's expectations.
This pie chart shows us the responses to the question 'What do you think should be in an opening sequence for a thriller?' As we can see from the data that all of the responses are equal. We can take this data into consideration when doing our practical work so it is up to the audience's expectations and pleases them so they enjoy the opening sequence.
This data shows that more people have said yes to an opening sequence is important. However some people said no. We can look back on this during our practical work and create an effective opening sequence on a thriller to make it look important for everyone.
