Ashleigh Hay AS media studies thriller blog: Analysing my survey results

My survey was completed by 8 males and 14 females. Most participants were as expected within the 16 and under age group and the 17-25 group. 68.4%, the majority of the participants watch thrillers atleast once a month, 15.8% watch thrillers once every six months, another 15.8% watch thrillers atleast once a week and a following 5.3% of the participants claimed they watch thrillers once a year. when asked on a scal of 1 to 5 how much would you say you like thrillers (5 being at the higher end of the scale) the majority of the participants answered 4. There was a range of thriller genres that were preffered, including psychological, paranoid, mystery, horror, crime. The majority of the participants answered horror, pschological, mystery and action. When asked what would would you say are the most important components of a thriller there many answers. The most common were suspense, tension, cliff hangers, and a good story line/plot. We will take these into consideration and try to use these conponents whilst making the opening to our thriller.
