Questionnaire

Shake and Bake Produtions Questionnaire

We have divised a series of questions to help us find out what are the best aspects of thrillers we can use for are opening film. In lesson we were given a hand out about collecting primary data, this hand out gave us ideas ranging from questions such as open ended or closed. Also how to administrate either from structured interviews, unstructured or semi structured. We drafted are questionnaire couple of times to create the right questions we needed to give us a good understanding of people's views on thrillers. Once we had the the final draft we piloted six out to other students in are class, we received positive feedback and constructive criticism such as the wording of a question and spelling. We have handed out twenty questionnaires containing nine questions ranging from the gender to there favourite thriller. This is what we found. (Jack Ware and Tommy Guiver)

Every one gave their opininon on their favourite thriller movie and the results we for this question varied from the likes of 'Taxi Driver' to 'The dark Knight' we have come to the conclusion that the age of the person filling in the questionnaire has a link with how modern their favourite thriller was. (Harry Newsome and Lee Ervine)

The character types that people would expect to see in a thriller film also varied, but the majority of people would expect an anti-hero and a detective. Another question that was in our questionnaire was 'would a violent opening scene put you off a thriller film?' The majority of answers that we got for this question was 'no' a violent opening scene would not put the viewer off the movie. This result is what we were hoping for because we wanted a fairly violent opening scene to our movie. (Harry Newsome and Lee Ervine)

We also asked our audience which type of setting they would prefer to see in our thriller, we asked them this question because we were indecisive on where to set our opening, the results came in that most people would prefer a more isolated setting, so therefore we have decided to set our opening in a desolate isolated setting. (Harry Newsome and Lee Ervine)

Another key aspect of thriller movies is the music, this varied from slow tension to fast beat sounds. Once again we were indecisive in the type of music to use, so we asked the question in our questionnaire 'What music would you expect to be in a thriller?' The results we found were mostly tension music, yet we are still indecisive on what style to use. (Harry Newsome and Lee Ervine)

Our results that we recieved have helped us improve and build on our initial ideas and have also contributed to our storyboarding. (Harry Newsome and Lee Ervine)
