Questionnaire Results Analysis

Therre has been some more results collected from our questionnaires, I have collected the results and shown them on the blog. From what has been collected there is a lot of variety within answers which shoud help me and my group to understand the audience and what they think about thriller films.

From the results it is clear to see that an equal amount of men and women both took our questionnaires, making the results less biased to one gender, and more valid when reaching both genders opinions.

 

50% of the results were taken by people within the age bracket of 15-21, this shows that our results are mainly based from younger audience members, and just within the brackett to watch thriller films, as the typical thriller film is certified 15, although some can be 18, possibly implying that they have not seen a large amount of our results are biased to thriller films as they have not seen 18 certified films.

Equally 25% of the results are split between yes, sometimes and ever so often when asked how often they watch thriller films, it shows that 75% of the participants have watched more than one thriller films, and allows us to use their results when applying to thriller films.

 As there are a lot of different options to choose within this question the results becomes less valid in proportian to the rest of the results. Through the table it is evident that a large majority of the participants find comedy, other, Action and Adventure and Animation as the most common types of film genre, but comedy is the most popular with 75% of the votes, showing that most successful films within the audiences enjoyment must involve a form of humour, to entertain the audience. This possibly suggests that for a successful thriller we should involve some form of comedy within our film.

By these results it is clear that the audience are not as knowledgeable about media terms when it comes to conventions of a thriller film, this makes the results more valid as they are not analysed but from a typical audience members point of view, the majority of results are valid, not allowing a lot of information to be gained for us.

 From these results, we can understand what different genres of thrillers the participants have seen, allowing the reader to understand what their preferences of films are.

 When asked to name producers of thriller films, the only two results were "Alfred Hitchcock" which indicates that they have knowlegde about thriller films or media.

 Unfortunatley this question got the 87.5% of votes replying NO to supplying imput, which doesnt help us to know what they want within a thriller film.

Overall I feel the the questionnaire worked well to generate reliable and valid results which can be used to help us understand some more about audience preferences and their opinions on thriller films.
