Questionaire Feedback
We questioned ten people on our opening sequcnce and these are the results...
Our first question asked if the location was appropriate, seven people said yes however the other three said they were not sure because sometimes it did and other times not, no more imformation was given.
Our next question asked if they thought that the light used was a good effect and nine out of ten said yes which we were very happy about and agreed that it was well suited to a thriller
Three out of the ten people said that they didnt feel costumes were used to an advantage and there wasnt really any costumes used, Although the other seven agreed that they were suitable as everyday clothes during the thriller.

Certificate Rating
I think that are film could be suitable for most people, we believe it could have a 12A rating as their isn't anything very graphic but would not interest a younger audience who would watch PG films.
Sixth Group Metting
We have filmed some of our film now and are beginning to edit it. Next lesson we all will continue to edit and try and film more to finish our thriller opening.
Questionares
Before making our thriller and coming up with our own ideas we thought it would be useful to send out a questionnaire, which would then help us to decide what would be the most popular and what people like to see within a thriller film. We questioned 10 people at random, 4 males and 6 females.
Nine out of the ten people that we asked said that they liked thrillers and only the one that said they didnt enjoy them, suspense was a huge factor of why people are interested and what they think would make a good film. One person however disagreed and said they are to confusing.
The second questions we asked was what was the first word they thought of when they hear the word 'Thiller' the response was mainly suspence, crime, action and surprise.
We then asked what would a typcial character in a thiller look like and the majority said sinister and has dark clothing, to create a more creepy look.
The fourth questioned we asked was if they liked a storyline with a mystery behind, all of the answers came back as yes and therefore suspence is a huge factor of making a thriller film good and watchable.
For the fifth question we asked what they thought the lighting should look like in a thiller and they all came back saying "dark".
We then asked what thillers they have seen that they have enjoyed or a recent one they liked and they answers we got were quite mixed. Black Sawn, Orphan, Taken, Physco, Phoneboot.
For the seventh it was whether they were female or male and we questioned more females than men.
Our eighth questioned asked if they thought rapid cuts are a good idea to show action in a scene and eight of the ten said yes because it creates tension and suspense but on the other hand the other two people said it can cause confusion.

Question 10 told us that ten out of ten of the people we asked like a twist in the storyline.
In conclusion the majority of people enhoy the suspense and tension that accompanies a good thriller film, aswell as the twists and mysterys along the way. I think our group will try to take on board what we have found out in our questionnaire.
