Target audience results - Miss Miller

We interviewed 40 people and concluded their result to forma series of pie charts with the reaults in. Although our questionnaire had a mixture of open and closed questions, we decided to only conduct the closed questions mainly because they are the easiest to make graphs from as they give a specific number of results. The first question that we asked was:
How old are you? The options that were given are 0-10, 11-15 and 16+. The intended idea to group the ages this way ,instead of aking for them to say their exact age would so that it isn't very personal and also will not offend anybody. The pie chart that I made for this question was:

By looking at this pie chart we can interprate that the majority of the people asked were 16 years or older, this ma suggest that we could potentially make our thriller clip and 16 or 18. The 11<15 category comes just under the 16+ and only 10% less that were asked, this is a big factor that we will need to consider when making our thriller clip.

The second question that we aksed is 'Are you male or female?'. The main reason why we asked this question was to see if our results would show the typical thriller audience which is prodomantley male. Our results showed:

The results show that the majority of people asked for this questionnaire are males. This could mean that our results may have a ‘typical’ thriller aspect as men are more likely to enjoy films that belong to the thriller genre, and are therefore more likely to choose the conventional options provided. Furthermore this may give us a different idea for our thriller, something that is very conventional.


Thirdly we asked about a prefered age certificate that the individual would like to see. Initially we thought to ask this question because it would provide us with the content that we would put in our thriller clip. It would provide us with the vital information needed to get our clip done. The results collected were:

This genre will be useful when our group decides on the age certificate of our clip. As we can the majority of people asked would like it to be rated 18 certificate, but it is closely followed by the 15 rating.

The next question that we asked was to see if we should include any sub-genres in our thriller clip. The aim of the question was to help us decide weather we needed to aim our narrative in a certain area.

 

From looking at the results we can see that drama was the most dominant category with 35% closely followed by physiological with 30%. This would mean that we would need to incorporate some elements of both drama and physiological in the clip.

The fifth question that was included within the questionnaire was 'What makes a thriller film effective'  the intended affect of this question was to gather a vague idea of what we should needed to included within our thriller clip.

 

 

The results show that both hidden identity and camera shots were the dominant results, this would suggest to our group should use a combination of both different camera shots and a sense of hidden identity.
