I produced this questionnaire during the planning process of my thriller; I asked a variety of people from age 10-60 about thriller films, mainly what they expect to see in a thriller from the location to the characters. From doing the questionnaire it helped me and my partner finalise decisions such as music, location and sub-genre.
We wanted to do a psychological thriller and our research showed that this would be a popular choice, so this meant we could go ahead with our ideas. Also after doing the questionnaire and analysing the results we then used the BBFC website to help us decide what age our piece would be aimed at. We decided to classify our piece as a 15 although our opening didn’t show much violence, sex or drugs it meant we would be able to if we were to create the whole film. By a piece being a 15 it would mean;
- -Drug taking is allowed to be shown although it cannot in anyway promote a drug.- -Nudity is allowed.
- -Strong threat and menace are permitted unless sadistic.
- -Violence can be quite strong.
- -Dangerous behaviour shown should not dwell on detail.
Our opening gives the impression violence is involved and by it being a 15 it would mean strong violence would be able to be shown.
Our typical audience member would be of either gender and of the age range of 15+. They would enjoy many thriller films mainly psychological and perhaps TV dramas. They may also like going on online social networks.
