  Questionnaire Results As agroup we wanted to ask some questions to do with some of the aspects of the opening that we were unsure about. We did this by creating a questionnaire on the website Survey Monkey which included 7 questions that we wanted to find out before we went further into looking at what we were going to include in our opening. As a group we each asked all of our friends and family on social sites such as Facebook to answer the questions. Therefore, we would be able to get a wide variety of different answers that would help us. We overall got 87 responses meaning we have been able to analyse the results clearly to see what the target audience would prefer us to do. coming to what we were going to include in the storyline.

But this has made us think that we need to consider whether it will be a 15 or 18 rated movie.

The second highest percentage was 4 to 6 times a year with 24% of people watching thriller films. These results show us that people were more likely to watch other film genres other than thrillers meaning if we wanted a vast audience it meant we had to include other genres in it. The results did show us that people watched thrillers 20% of people watched thrillers more than 10+ times a year which meant that even though not a lot of people preferred other genres it meant that thriller had its own target audience and not a lot of people who are part of that audience answered our questionnaire.. Overall, after looking at the results of how many times people watch thriller films we feel this will be very significant as we will be able to make sure that we have a target audience of people that like thrillers.
