These are the questions that me and my group came up with to ask people around the school including teachers and students so we are able to get an idea of who our target audience is for our thriller opening sequence
How old are you?
Are you male/female?
Where are you from? What is your nationality?
What is your favourite genre?
(Do you like thrillers? If so why?)
When was the last time you watched a film?
Do you prefer watching a male lead character in the film?
Would a strong female lead instead of a male lead put you off watching a film?
Are you dissuaded by violence? Would you avoid the film if there was a too much violence or would you carry on watching it?
Is a film that is easy to understand one that interests you or do you prefer a plot that twists and has suprises?
What is your favourite thriller film? If you don’t like thrillers why not?
Do you have any feministic views?
Who’s your favourite film director?
How often do you go to the cinema? Or do you wait for the film to come out on DVD/ITunes/Netflix/Sky?
Who is your favourite actor/actress?
Do you prefer a fast paced or a slow paced film?
Do you think music is necessary to build suspense?
What is your favourite film studio?
Do you prefer classic black and white films or modern day colour?
Why we asked these questions
The reason why we used the first two questions was to clearly state who our target audience was and what their age and gender were. We also wanted to see if the area in which someone lived would affect the type of film which they watch and what genre they enjoyed.
We also thought that asking the people we were interveiwing what their favorate genre is so we could clearly see what type of film and genre each age group and gender prefer.
As our opening sequence's main character is a woman we thought that it would be usefull to see if the people we asked about what gender they would prefer to have as the main role. We thought that this would help us a great deal in figuring out our target audience
We also wanted to ask how many times certain people go to the cinema and how often they watch films so that we were able to see how likely they were to watch our film.
We also wanted to know if violence would put off certain age groups so by asking the question we were able ot figure this out.
My group and I also felt that it would help us understand our target audience if we knew if they prefered a simple or complex plot as in our opening sequence there is already something that goes against the stereotype and something that the audience wouldn't exoenct.
We also aksed what their favourate thriller films were so we were able to see if any of them were similar to the opening sequence that we had made. This was also helped by asking about their favourate directors and actors which could also help us to see what kind of films that they watched.

Video
This was the video with all the interviews that we carried out
conclusion from the video
From this video we found out that our target audience was likely to be a male person who was about the age of 21 . We found this throughout asking these questions however there were others who also said they would watch this kind of film that we wouldn't expect.
As a result of these interviews that we have shown in the video almost all of the people that we interveiwed seemed to like the ideas of our thriller and also a few liked a lot of films that were also similar to ours.
