We decided to also hand out our questionnaire to an older audience to gain a wider and balanced collection of opinions. This will allow us to create a thriller which will appeal to a larger audience. This is important in a real thriller because maximum revenue from the film can only be achieved if it appeals to a large demographic.
We found that the answers received from the two types of people were different while some remained similar. By the term 'Older Audience', we used teachers and parents due to their availability and readiness to help us obtain answers.
In the first question, in contrast to the answers from the younger audience, only 4 said 'horror' with 4 saying 'conspiracy' and 2 said 'drama'. This shows that in general, older audiences seem to expect less horror in thriller's. As a result of this, the answers to question 2 were totally varied with the answers, blue, green, black and red being the slight favourite with 3.
Most participants still said that the film should be shot at night. This is probably because a night-time setting helps build suspense in a scene which is also required in both conspiracy and drama, not just horror.
Among the locations suggested by the older audience in question 5 were streets, factories, and forest's.The idea of street's is a good idea because it allows the audience to relate to the film, although it might be hard to make this scary as every thing might seem a bit too normal. Almost all of the participants still said that they would expect a thriller to be rated as a '15'. This give's us quite a clear interpretation of the expected rating of our thriller and will try and produce our thriller accordingly.
For question 8 there were a variety of answers, e.g a good storyline. Most answers we can incorporate into our thriller but were quite obvious anyway. We also found that most people thought that suspense played a vital role in a thriller. This is because it keeps the audience involved witht the film.
