My group and i handed out 20 questionnaires to our piers. Each questionnaire i handed out came back with the same age range with 15-17. When i got the questionnaires back and looked over them we had an equal amount of males and females. The questionnaire asked the question "Do you prefer 15 or 18 rated movies?" and the overall answer was 15 rated. This could be because the age range that filled in our questionnaires was 15-17, so they fit in with the 15 age range, or it could be because 18 is too grown up for them and could in some cases be too scary for them.
We asked the audience what there favorite sub genres were. Here are the results.
Action- 14
Crime- 9
Film noir- 0
Gangster- 4
Physiological- 12
Religious- 1
Western- 0
As we can see Action and Physiological were the most popular. This is important information because we can fit our film to be the criteria that the audience like, however we will change it around so it is our own, yet still engaging to the audience.
The next question we asked was what film they liked the most. The options were...
Dark Knight- 14
Godfather- 4
Inception- 10
Jaws- 8
Memento- 0
Paranormal Activity- 14
Physco- 2
Pulp Fiction- 1
Se7en- 2
Silence of the lambs- 4
From this we can see that the most popular movies were Dark Knight and Paranormal Activity. These two movies are completely different. Dark Knight is about batman trying to bring piece, and save gotham city against the Joker. Paranormal Activity however is about poltergeist activity, and possession of another human being. Some evil could also be included in this. In Dark knight there is a goody and baddy, and there will be slightly scary bits but more thrilling than anything.
Next we asked our audience to rate 8 fields that a thriller genre could cover:
Suspence- 80/160
Fast paced music- 79/160
Plot twists- 87/160
Action- 90/160
Gore- 98/160
Science: 62/160
A sense of reality- 82/160
Clever Storyline- 120/160
