E. Audience Research

Audience Research

For audience research I decided to do some research into what ages groups consumed thrillers the most and what sort of thrillers they were most engaged with. I started by using google and doing research via the internet to really find the audience I was trying to aim my thriller towards.

I came across a audience feedback questionnaire which had been carried out by an individual. Within this questionnaire they had a question regarding the ages of the people which consumed thriller films. From the results displayed below you can see a clear majority with the age group of 16 to 20 year old's being the winners. This was the common age group when I came across other sources on the internet, therefore confirming that this age group would be the correct audience to adapt my thriller opening sequences to.













As well as this audience research I wanted to also know what about a thriller intrigues them. This same question was present in the questionnaire I referenced previously with the question of 'What attracts you in particular to a thriller film?' As displayed below the answers seem to be in majority vote for 'Storyline' and 'Feeling of Suspense'. I wanted to make sure these two elements were included in my thriller. I felt that this would be essential to have in my thriller as it fits the conventions of a thriller perfectly as well as making it appealing for the target audience.
