How has the questionnaire feedback affected our end product?

We have now collected all of the feedback from our questionnaires and it has become clear that certain features are regarded important when creating a Thriller film opening.

Firstly from our feedback we have learnt that multiple people believe that a thriller movie opening must be gripping and exciting so the viewers get hooked and wish to carry on watching. Also multiple people believe that the characters and story/ plot must be introduced early on. Referring to the feedback gained we have included a scene in out thriller opening where a victim, is being tortured, this will hopefully grab our audiences attention and make them want to watch on. We have also introduced the story/ plot and the characters early on, to do this we have a scene where a police report appears and then a victim answers questions related to the report slowly teaching the audience about the plot of the thriller.

Also for the feedback we have learnt that multiple people believe that a thriller opening should occur in a secluded/ isolated location. Taking this into account we decided to film out thriller opening in a secluded/ isolated location. The location we chose was a shed, we chose a shed because it is isolated from the outside world and they are very eerie and mysterious.

Also in out questionnaire we had a question about lighting, the question was “what sort of lighting would you expect to find in a thriller opening?”. From the feedback acquired we have decided to film out thriller in a dark, dim, shadowy setting, we will be using a single light source so we can create an eerie dim setting which is preferred by most people who filled out the questionnaire.
