For our research, we asked 9 people the following questions, these are shown above along with the answers.
From our questionnaire results, it is clear that the many of the people who took part in the survey feel that an opening sequence to a thriller film most importantly needs 'strange', 'scary' or 'freaky' characters. In our opening sequence we have an attacker, who plays this scary, villain character, therefore we feel we have succeeded in this sector of a thriller opening sequence. The other top factor our volunteers felt should be in an opening sequence are scenes that make you jump. Looking at our storyboard we also feel we have succeeded in this also as the attacker in the sequence jumps out at the young innocent girl, frightening her and hopefully the audience.
Tension building music is another factor we had to consider, as this was the most common type of music our volunteers felt were found in an opening sequence to a thriller film. We are not yet sure how we are going to meet this need as we are going to have music playing at the party scene, therefore we do not know whether music over the top of this will spoil the effect. However we may use dramatic music at some tense sections of the party, like when the attacker springs upon the character.
We have also come to the conclusion that our thriller film will have the 15 certificate; as it was thought that this was the suitable age for a great thriller film. Therefore this is the age we have chosen to rate our film at, on the other hand we feel that the gender, race and socio-economic status of our audience does not matter.
