The effect of this survey was to figure out what our target audience likes in a thriller film and incorporate it into our thriller opening. The age question was to see whether their answers were relevant to our research as our target audience is 15-25 year olds and if their opinions effect how we want to make our film. Their favourite thriller film can help us to establish which thriller film we would like to watch and then create similarly. The yes or no questions were to see get quick answers to what they liked in a thriller film and the most popular answer we would use as that must be what our target audience most likely wants to see. The location and time of day are important for the target audience because if they don't like when and where it's set they will not like the film.
The survey helped us decide things for our thriller film because we now know what to include, not to include and how if we want our thriller film to attract the target audience we set, we must go with what they like to see in thriller films.
