Thriller Questionnaire

I have written a questionnaire to get an idea of what the audience will want to see in our groups trailer, poster and magazine front cover. Hopefully these results will help us make decisions on what to include in our trailer, poster and cover.



This is the questionnaire that I gave to 25 people to fill out, I mostly gave them to what we expect our target audience to be, however I also gave about 5 to the older generation 31 - 35 to find out if there ideas were any different from the younger target markets.

















These are the results of the questionnaire, I have put them into a table for each question. Question 1 doesn't give us much information but it does show the range of people i gave my questionnaire to. Question 2 is much the same as question one, however i chose to five the questionnaire to more boys as they are the gender who are most likely to go and see a thriller. Question 3 shows that thriller is a very popular genre, this may be because of the amount of boys in the survey, however this is a good thing as they will be able to help us when it comes to the conventions of the thriller film promotion trio. Question 4 shows that the most popular of the thriller sub genres is Supernatural, this is films like white noise and paranormal activity. Question 5 will help us when it comes to planning our trailer, the majority of people said that it is best to use a mixture of bright and dark colours as well as a mixture of low and fast paced sections, and the majority said that they expect some typography flashing up in the trailer. Question 6 asked the people taking the questionnaire what they expect and thinks works on a promotional poster, the results show that dark colours work best on a thriller poster, and its pretty even but most people thought that a simple poster works better than a busy one, and the majority preferred poster that made the genre obvious rather than displayed it subtly. Question 7 asked the participants which sold a film to them most, a poster, trailer and magazine feature, the majority of people by a large way said a trailer.
