Survey Results

It has been a while since the,Thriller survey was first created and the responses from participants were given on 'survey-monkey'. I am going to analyse the three key question I believe to be include in our survey so far, these question are:

• What is your favourite movie genre?
• What is your favourite plot theme which is usually found in a thriller film?
• Which of these thriller films have you seen?

I am happy with the results from this question because the most favourite move genre ended up to be the one on our doing, thriller. Also that the other one with the same percantage is the genre of 'horror' which you could say occurs in scenes through our film. This makes me believe by choosing to produce a title sequence for a thriller film we have made the right decision  and makes me confident about the processes to come.

The most popular theme in a thriller film, was deceptive mind games, which is partly include in our film because the mind games are played with the audience. I am not fussed that supernatural events was so low because this is not relevant to our film at all. Furthermore i am delighted that the other three themes that run through our film were also rated highly as well: Demolishing another's mental state, Chase/stalking and Film with a twist ending. This is because the mental state of the female character we are thinking are naming,Maria has problems with her's and suffers from schizophrenia, making me feel that this decision of including the mental illness was a correct choice. In addition the chase/stalking theme, is a relevant part to the illusions that girl has and is written in her diary.More over the twist ending theme is the main theme in our film because the audience have been leaded to follow a certain storyline but it is completely flipped.From all these results on this question I feel very positive and happy with the groups decisions.

The last question include in the survey is some popular thriller films and the participant had to tick what ones they had seen. The film, 'Saw' was the most watched film by participants and the age range of them was teenagers 14-17 years old. This is not wanted I wanted to be the outcome for this question because the film is more gory and horror themed than our film, Captive. However the next most popular theme was, Taken which slightly fits in with part of our film which is chase/stalking. Moreover the next top two films were,Se7en and Shutter island which both films had strongly influenced and given our groups ideas for our film. 

Hopefully more people will fill out our survey so we have more quantitative data to analyse and give us more direction both we start filming/producing our title sequence.
