Questionnaire

This is a Questonnaire that we carried out in order to find out what our target audience want in a thriller film.



This questionnaire has shown us that the main age group we will be aiming at 15-20 year old males. Out of the 25 people we asked their favourite thriller was halloween, they would prefer a horror thriller shot at night, they said that it would create more tension being shot at night. We are dismissing these two last questions as it would be unable for us to carry out filming at night due to lighting problems.
