This information shows the the majority of individuals that we questioned for our research were females as the pie chart shows; less than half of the people that we interviewed were male. This indicates that females may be more interested in thriller films than males.

Evidence from this pie chart shows that half of the people that we questioned confirmed that recommendations from other people such as friends and family, interest them to watch particular thriller films, 40% confirmed that they are persuaded by adverts to watch thriller films and only 10% of the general public are persuaded by posters to watch thriller films. This confirms that the audience of thriller films are persuaded both visually and by recommendations from people that they are familiar with rather than posters as they do not provide a lot of information about the content of the film.





This pie chart shows that the majority of the general public expect the age certificate of most thriller films to be 15, this could be because they feel that 15 year olds are mature enough to be exposed to certain themes in a thriller film that people of younger ages may not be able to handle.


The pie chart shows that death is expected to be seen in thriller films more than other things such as: main characters, killer&victim, flash backs, blood, conflict ,death chase scenes and fight scenes. The majority of the general public may feel this way because previous thriller films that they have previously watched which may have an impact on what they would expect to see in another thriller film.



The results on this pie chart show 60% of the general public enjoy having sequels after movies to continue the story, this may depend on how much each individual enjoys the original film. If they do enjoy the film then they would most likely be eager to watch a sequel of the film.

This pie chart shows that 35% of he general public expect tension building sounds in thriller films, the reason for this could be because most very successful thriller films include tension building sound effects.

  1. You have provided a very basic explanation of your questionnaire results and mainly explained what they show, not what they might suggest.

    To improve your post you need to:
    1) Elaborate further on your evaluations of each pie chart by explaining what they results imply and how you will incorporate these results into your sequence
    2) Make sure you explain how the results follow or challenge the results you would expect in relation to the genre
    3) Read through and check spelling, grammar etc
    4) Vox pops?
