Advance research-Questionnaire

Here are the results that I found whilst carrying out research on the audience; their likes, dislikes, interests and expectations:

Looking at the results in the gifs and the charts created you can clearly identify what our target audience is looking for in a good and effective opening sequence. The reason I chose these 3 specific questionnaires is due to the fact that two are from the target audience age and the other isn't. I wanted to do this to show how different aged people feel about what they want to see and what they think about the specific genre itself. For example, when comparing the 40+ to the 21-25's answers we see that the younger answers are much more stereotypical locations that they say they see in an opening sequence such as a haunted house. Where as the 40+ states locations such as country sides, eerie narrow streets and places that build up an atmosphere. Also looking at each of my questionnaires you can clearly identify that the conventions that the audience commonly want to and see in an opening sequence are: titles over a moving image, low key lighting, uneasy (eerie) music and a non-linnear narrative. By taking into account each individual's answers my group and can clearly work out what our audience want to see and want they don't. We can take this on to develop our ideas when producing the opening sequence so it appeals to our target audience effectively. With these results found from the research we are going to include the title over a moving image, uneasy/eerie music and make it a non-linear narrative. 

This graph above shows how old people were who took part in answering the questionnaire. The majority of people asked were aged 16-20 which is our intended target audience. The other ages were asked as I wanted to know what their views were and opinions are to then compare them to those of a younger age.

This chart above simply shows that more females were asked than male. This could then give an insight that maybe more females watch Thrillers that Males do.

This graph above shows peoples favorite genre. As you can see Thriller is one of the most popular which reinforces that this is a popular genre and suggests that we'd have a wider audience of which this will be aimed to.

This chart above clearly shows what people mostly like to see in a Thriller opening sequence. As seen above you can see that the most popular elements were: 'Title over moving image', ' Uneasy/eerie music', 'A Non-linear narrative', 'Low key lighting' and 'Symbolic, foreshadowing imagery'. We're going to take all these opinions into consideration and include them in our sequence.
