2) An equal number of male and female audience members were questioned to avoid bias towards certain genres.
3) Psychological thrillers were the most preferred genre while action thrillers were the least favorite.
4) The 2000s was the most preferred era for a thriller setting.

We made sure that we had at least one member from each age range. This was done so
that the results would be valid as different people of varying ages were surveyed rather
than people from only certain ages, leaving others out.
2) Gender of audience
50% 50%
Female
Male
To make the results fair, we ensured that we questioned 10 male and 10 female members of
our audience. This was done because males, for example, may favour action thrillers or
crime thrillers as oppose to females who most commonly chose psychological thrillers.

Conspiracy thrillers
Action thrillers
Crime thrillers
Psychological thrillers

From this graph, we can conclude that most people prefer psychological thrillers and the
least favourite type of thriller is action thrillers. This benefits our movie opening as it is also
a psychological thriller and as evident from our survey, this would be popular.

Here, we see that the preferred era out of the three is 2000s. We can use this information
as the basis of our thriller movie opening and produce a movie set in the 2000s.

Black and White Colour Depends

The answer to this question helps us to decide on whether to film our movie in black and
white or colour; as the majority of the people questioned favoured colour, our movie
opening will be in colour.

We included this questionnaire to get a general understanding of how often our audience
watch thriller movies. From the graph above, we see that most people either watch thriller
movies once a month or less than twice a week. Only three of the twenty people surveyed
watch thriller movies once every two months. From this, we can conclude that thriller
movies are watched often.

Most of the movies listed above are psychological movies. We included this question to see
whether psychological movies were popular or not as we are creating an opening to a
psychological movie. From the pie chart, we can finalise that many people do watch
psychological movies as only 9% of our audience questioned watched none of the movies
mentioned. This is a promising finalisation for our movie.
