Tom's Questionnaire

The best way to find out about what the audience want, is to ask them. In my survey, the questions were very simple and only needed a couple of words for each answer, this was handy, as it allowed me to not lose the answerer's interest. Here are the results from the 4 people I asked:

- What do you look for in a Thriller?
- Thrills, kills and automobiles.
- Tension and absurd reality, something that is almost unrealistic.
- A good storyline, something intriguing with a lot of tension.
- Something that will leave me forever in suspense.

- What qualities do you look for in the lead Protag/Antagonists?
- Protag = Bravery, Antag = Someone who is almost psychopathic.
- Protag = Charm and beauty, Antag = Uglyness and greed.
- Protag/Antag = Has to be good looking.
- Protag = Bravery, Kindness and forgiveness, Antag = Violence.

- Do you think that the music in a Thriller makes a big difference?
- Yes, for suspense purposes.
- Yes, most certainly.
- Definately.
- Yes, it makes a huge difference.

- Do you like serious Thrillers, or almost comedic ones?
- Definately serious, no comedy, as it dampens the emphasis of the film.
- Some comedy is good.
- Small amount of dry humour, maybe sarcasm, but nothing too desperate for laughs.
- It depends, but usually I would prefer a more serious film.

- Do you intense Thrillers that have to make you think, or lighthearted ones?
- Intense Thrillers are the best, ones with big twists.
- It depends on my mood, but normally lighthearted as they are easier to watch.
- Ones that make me think, no question.
- I would definately go for one that makes me think.
