During our 4th free period yesterday our group managed to film the forest scene for the last piece of filming for our media studies coursework. i managed to collect and use my nan's dog, so that went to plan. we didn't use a tri-pod for the filming, so we are hoping that it will all fit together nicely after the editing is done.

My conclusion for my questionnaire

From looking at the results of my questionnaire, i can see that the audience loves a lot of suspence, a good plot and something that will have them getting scared. They also like music in the Thriller to set the mood. These results show me what i wanted to see, because i know what i look for in a thriller, but our group is not making the thriller for me, we are making it for our audience, and for the audience to like the same kind of characteristics in a thriller, this makes it easier, because we are putting things in that we, and the audience like . I think this will be a good piece for our group to work on, because from our individual questionnaires, so when we combine our results we have a very good overview on what the audience wants, to help us creat the perefect thriller sequence.

My Questionnaire

I carried out a questionnaire to find out what the audience likes in a Thriller film. This will help me and my group find out what to put in our sequence. I asked family members, friends, and neighbours. My questionnaire was easy to complete, as it consisted of short and simple answers.

Here is my questionnaire and the results i gathered;
