Audience Questionnaire

After deciding on which genre to use for our film opening, it was important to ensure that it would be suitable for our chosen audience. Due to deciding to aim our opening towards a mass audience, it became clear that we should create a film suitable for as many ages as possible. Therefore, we created a questionnaire to explore what people of different age groups look for in thrillers and, more importantly, in their openings. Below is the list of questions we decided to ask potential audience members to help us determine what aspects of thrillers we should include in our film opening to make it more successful.

1. How old are you?
2. Do you watch Thrillers?
3. What is your favourite Thriller and why?
4. What would you expect to find in a Thriller?
5. What one thing would you say is most important to include in a Thriller?
6. Do you think the film opening is more important than the rest of the film and why?
7. What 3 things would make you more likely to watch the rest of the film if you were to see them in the opening?
