Within the questionnaire I questioned both females and males, a total of 6 males were asked do you enjoy watching films and the majority of them agreed therefore sticking to the stereotype of thriller is a genre for the male gender. I later asked each person what their favourite sub thriller genre was, the majority of people said action and mystery. This means that I should try and concentrate on both these genres when creating my own thriller opening. Question number five was of real importance as it allowed us to determine what the best locations would be to use, once again number six ‘What should an opening scene consist of’ is important as it would help our group focus on certain area that our film should consist from the questionnaire I can see that both murder and abduction are the two favourite’s. Finally ‘what types of shot’s do you like to see’ I asked this question so I could see how an audience would want certain shots to be portrayed the majority of people said short and fast paced however I think a combination of a few of these would make a better opening sequence.
