General Questionairre.....

I handed this questionairre out in Bromley. Around 14 was given out, equally between men and women. I found many different bit of information, like many people who watched films were between the ages of 21 to 30. Action films were the most popular, aswell as comedies. Reasons put for action films is that they enjoy the fast pace action that happens, whilst reasons for comedies were generally along the lines of sitting back and having a laugh with their friends. Around 8 of the people went to cinemas, the majority 1-2 times a month, with one of them going 3-4 times a month. Around half the the participants admitted to downloading and pirating films, whilst the other half rented or bought theire films.

Specific Questionairre.....

I done this questionairre in Bromley, to get an idea of what people liked in there thriller fims. I handed out 12 of them, and in all cases, every one had watched a thriller film atleast once in their life. The age of the films they watched correlated with the age they were; for example, older people watched films such as Psycho, whilst younger people watched films such as Saw.
Responces to "what makes a good thriller" was a mixed bag. One responce stated "it must be attention grabbing, and hook the viewer into it so they keep on guessing whats coming next". Another responce i got was "it has to be scary". With the reponces to the opening sequence question, i got "something that'll get me interseted in the film without giving too much away"
