Target Audience Results - Miss Miller

From this pie chart we can see that the majority of people we questioned were female, therefore our thriller may not be reliable as females generally have different opinions on thriller films. By having a bigger female percentage, this does not allow us to see a wide range of perspectives, as males may have different expectations of thrillers.

When asking people the question above about sound, we discovered that each option of the question was selected and favoured by people highly. Tension building was the most popular as expected as thrillers are expected to leave you feeling tense. Silence followed closely with most picked as this is also a tension building sound. Therefore, when making my thriller I will focus most closely on tension building sound, and silence. However, all the options of sound were selected showing that all these types of sounds are important when making a thriller. 

When creating our question for age certificates we thought that most thriller films are either a 15 or 18 due to the scary content. The people we asked agreed with us as no-one selected a 12 certificate. Both 15, and 18 had a high percentage as thrillers are seen to be inappropriate for children in the publics opinion. However, the 15 age certificate was 20% higher than 18, therefore our group will certificate our thriller as a 15.

Our pie chart results of this question shows that 50% of the people we questioned watch thrillers as family and friends have recommended it to them, this would be helpful in assisting us with our thriller as we wont be using advertisement nor posters therefore word of mouth would be the option. Adverts were also highly favoured with 40% of people selecting it, where as posters were a small 10%.

The next question we asked was intended to allow us to briefly think about how the film would continue and what we wanted to give away in the first few minutes of the clip. To decide on a storyline we thought it would be best to decide whether or not the film could continue and so wanted to make the narrative as interesting as possible, so more films could be made.
