    Our results show that we asked a range of different ages how old they are. Even though there most popular age group was 15-20 it will also give us a sense of ideas from the different audiences, this may attract more people to watch our thriller as we can vary across the audiences. 
    Our results shows that we asked both genders to complete the questionnaire so we could have a more equal view of what  they want our thriller to contain. Even though our questionnaire is slightly biased as more females were asked rather than males we will hopefully have both genders interested in our thriller.
Our results shows that Psychological sub genres the most popular sub-genre. This subject is where there is usually (until the often violent resolution) conflict between the main characters is mental and emotional, rather than physical.
Our results show that the majority of people that filled in our questionnaire prefer to have 5 people in a thriller. However, it was close between 3 and 5. We will take this into consideration when planning our thriller and see what works best with the publics interest coming first.
It was clear to say that our results show that the audience would prefer to see a male villain rather than a female. So we will take this into mind to meet the demand of the audience, Also you tend to see more male villains than females.
Our results show that the majority of our audience believe that the most important thing in a thriller would be the plot, as this is the main key to have high ratings. I think following this the most important thing would be music as it keys in with the plot.
The majority of our audience have asked to see a cliffhanger in, this is to leave you asking questions in your mind or maybe bring out another thriller to follow it. I think we would take this into consideration to meet the demand of the audience.


Our results show that the main sort of characters that the audience would prefer to see is psycotic character, this means we will take it into mind to include one. I do agree that this would be the scariest one out of the selection; ghosts, children, psycotic, stalkers and death.
The majority of our audience would prefer to see a male hero as well as a male villian. This would meet the demand of our audience however isnt what we had in mind. But the audience interest is the most important to keep our ratings up.
The results show that the audience prefer a ordinary hero. This would make it easier for the audience to relate to as it would be a ordinary guy living in a city or something like that. Meaning that the audience would be able to work him out and think better of him.
Our results were quite close between Red and black for the colours you associate with thrillers. Black could stand for night/ dark, and red for blood or danger. To meet the audiences demand we would have to include mainly black but perhaps red too as it was a close call between the two.
Our results shows that the most popular answer is “No”, meaning that we will make sure that the audience can not predict the ending of our thriller. This wouldnt leave the audience disspaointed to keep the ratings up.
Our results shows that the most popular answer is “An Abandoned House” meaning that we will take it into cosideration of using a abbandoned house. However it was close between a house and town, so we will use which ever fits in better with the plot. However we may be able to use both.
Our results shows that the most popular answer is “No” this means that we won’t make our ending predictable, so we don’t disappoint our audience. This had all the publics votes meaning we will definatley have a unpredictable ending.
Our results show that the most popular answer was “Present” meaning we will set our piece in the present day for the interest of the audience rather than in the past or future. However it wasnt a big difference in what they would prefer to watch so we would take it into consideration of the other film before maing our choice.
Our results make it quite clear that our audience would much prefer to see the villian die. I think most thrillers have this ending so to keep it ordinary we would include the villian rather than the victim or hero die for the interest of our audience.
Our results were quite close for this question, however the mijority chose that the music which mosts suits a thriller would be eerie. But it was close between High pitched and low key so as our aduience covers a couple of different age groups we may try and include them all.
Our results shows that the most popular answers were “Killed” and "Get Away" meaning that we could either include both or we could chose what ever suited the rest of the plot. As this would interest all our audience.
Our results shows that the most popular answer for this question was "Font 3" However it was close between them all. Yet as this had the most votes we will use font 3 for the interest of the majority of the aundience.
Our results shows that the most popular answer is “Yes” this means that we will make sure the opening titles are relevant. It was a major difference between the two answers, meaning we will make sure the titles are relevant for the interest of our audience.
