WHAT DO AUDIENCES EXPECT FROM THRILLER FILMS?
PRIMARY RESEARCH
I created a questionnaire, which I distributed to a random sample group of twenty, in order to research what the central thriller demographic was and why and furthermore what audiences expect of thriller films.
RESULTS
- 100% of the males enjoyed watching thrillers
- 100% of participants described the colour palette as being dark, with references to the colours black, grey and red
- The majority of participants recognised suspense, drama, fast pace and violence as conventions of thriller films.
- Those who stated that they did not like thriller films all argued that they were 'too scary/intense'.
- There was no correlation between participant's attitudes towards thrillers and how often they watch films, as the majority of those who liked and disliked the thriller genre both watched films 'sometimes'.
↳ Thriller demographic: males aged 16-30 years
SECONDARY RESEARCH
source:
- intense excitement
- a high level of anticipation
