Analysing our response data

After making our questionnaire, myself and Elliot sent it round to multiple different people of different age groups and genders. The peoples responses remained anonymous who answered the questionnaire which I believe should make them answer the questions more honestly. I was rather dissapointed to have only recieved 7 responses overall because I feel that the smaller the number of people who answered the questionnaire, the more it will hinder the amount of information I can gather from it since there is a less mixed group of people answering the questions. The results are shown below:
 
This question was too see if the majority of the people who answered the questionnaire were boys or girls and to see if there was a difference of opinions between boys and girls throughout the questionnaire. The results show that 57.1% of the people who answered the questionnaire are male whereas 42.9% are female.

I also asked the candidates for their age so I can get a better idea of what certain age groups prefer in a thriller movie. 57.1% of the candidates were aged between 11 and 17, 28.6% were 40-55 and 14.3% were aged between 26 and 39.




I asked people how often they watch thrillers to get a better idea of what their knowledge on thrillers is like and to find out if they're big fans of thriller movies. I found that the majority of people (71.4%) only watch thrillers monthly whereas just 14.3% watched thrillers multiple times per week and the same amount of people only watch thrillers every few months.

I also asked the candidates for a few of their favourite movies to try and get an idea of what different thriller movies are popular in the hope that I can use some of these movies as an inspiration for the plot of my own film.I found that everyone had a very mixed opinion on their favourite movie and that 'Fight Club' was the only movie to appear twice in the answers.

Aswell as asking people for their favourite thriller movies I also asked them what they expect to see in a thriller movie to see if I should introduce elements of these in my own movie. I discovered that 100%  of the candidates would expect to see elements of mystery in a thriller, whereas 57.1% would also like to see some action and crime in a thriller movie. This will help me when it comes to making my final piece because I can attempt to use all 3 of these in my thriller opening scene.



I asked what type of locations people would expect a thriller to be set to give me a better idea of where I should set my own thriller movie. The results show that an urban, densely populated area is by far the most popular setting for a thriller movie, a woodland setting is the second most popular setting for a thriller movie with just 14.3% of people preferring this type of setting.


To find out what sort of costumes the characters in my final piece should wear, I asked how people would expect the protagonist and antagonist to dress. I found that most people would expect the protagonist to wear smart-casual/casual clothing whereas the antagonist would be expected to wear formal clothes, people also suggested that the antagonist should wear either smart casual clothing or loungewear.

I asked what weather people would expect to see in a thriller to find out what would be more popular for my own thriller movie. Unfortunately, I can not decide how the weather will be for my thriller since it is out of my own control but I would still like to know what types of weather would be more popular. I found that 57.1% of people would expect the weather in a thriller movie to be foggy/misty and 28.6% would want to see stormy weather, also 14.3% of people would expect to see light rain in a thriller movie.



To get a better idea of when I should film my thriller, I asked what time of day people would expect a thriller to be set and what time of year it should take place. Autumn and winter were the two most popular months whereas people would also expect thrillers to take place either late at night or in the early hours of the morning. The filming for my thriller will take place during the winter so it is good to know that 42% of people would expect to see a thriller movie take place during the winter and I now know that the filming for my thriller would be better off taking place late at night or in the early hours of the morning.

To conclude my questionnaire, I asked people which to select the movie title that they feel would suit a thriller about a kidnapping the most out of 4 different choices. This will help me massively in deciding the title of my final piece. I discovered that the titles 'Stockholm Syndrome' and 'Hidden' were the joint most popular titles, in my own opinion my favourite title of the 4 is 'Stockholm Syndrome' so I am happy that it was the joint most popular so that I know that I can use it for the title of my final piece.
