The most popular pace of thrillers was fast, as most people would prefer lots of action to be happening quickly in order to create suspense and mystery.
However, I personally would prefer a slower paced thriller, so the story line is better played out.
The most popular choice was a minimal amount of dialogue, which is most likely because this will build suspense and is conventional as a thriller.
This result will be taken into account, as this was the desired result when compiling the questionnaire.
Suspense was a popular choice, as this is a traditional characteristic of a thriller, however is often followed by surprise.
We will take this result into account, and have planned a mostly suspense-based thriller.
100% of the people polled said that they would like only a few key characters as opposed to a large cast, in order to keep the focus on the storyline and the main characters.
Five people said they would prefer the filming to be done in the day time, and also five people said they would prefer the filming to be done at night time.
Due to this split result; we will be taking the former into account and using this.
The vast majority of those polled said they would prefer an action-based thriller, which would also fit with the popular choices of a fast paced film.
However, we feel an action-based thriller would be too fast and will not give time for a proper storyline to be shown, leading to confusion of the audience.
A small minority wanted the film to be shot ‘abstractly’ (non-conventionally), but the larger proportion of the sample wanted it to be shot realistically, as if you were there.
Over 3/4 of those asked said that they would prefer a soundtrack, including music and dialogue.
Two-thirds of the sample asked wanted a climatic soundtrack, in order to build tension, as opposed to a subtle soundtrack that only slightly enhances the viewing.
100% of those asked would like the characters’ identities to be hidden.
Everyone asked preferred to have opening credits, which would give a more ‘authentic’ and ‘traditional’ feel to the film.
The majority of those asked chose ‘slowly’. I presume this is to make the titles easier to read, and to also build suspense, which would inevitably lead to a climax.
The Rage Italic font was most popular among those who were asked, however, in retrospect, this font seems too difficult to read for opening titles, and should probably be reconsidered.
‘River/Lake side’ was a popular choice among those who took part in the questionnaire. However, this may be a difficult location to shoot due to the time limit and certain restraints within the group, so we may need to adapt from this.

This could suggest the intended audience prefer more suspense and mystery in their thrillers, which we intend to incorporate.

This convention will be taken into consideration when in the editing stage.

This is my own personal analysis, and did not involve group discussion, however the ideas I used were discussed with the group prior to the conducting of the questionnaire.
From this, we will take away ideas and improvements that can be made to our initial idea, and make adjustments where necessary.
