How did you attract/address your audience?

We distributed a few questionnaires around, with 9 questions on them. we asked the questions that we thought were most important to ask as it was the main information we were wanting to get where we needed to be next which was deciding who our target audience was going to be. Once we gathered all the questionnaires we were able to see what people preferred to see in a thriller and what they didnt like so much this gave us a good insight into what our thriller could be about and therefore we could go fourth and start planning our thriller. Our research revealed that the majority of people were that took the questionnaire were our own age "15-17 year olds", they preferred psychological thrillers, they liked cliffhangers included in thrillers and preferred the movie to be in colour, most of the applicants told us that they mostly watched thriller films that had a certificate of 15 and they liked it to start with a flashback or a murder. 


I posted my finish product on  networking sites for people to see and to leave comments i.e. Facebook and Youtube. I found that this was a good way at receiving good feedback from a wide audience as Facebook and Youtube are both national and work on a world wide basis. The majority of the feedback was good and people said it flowed nicely together, however some said that the music was maybe a bit too repetitive but fitted well with each clip of the opening. The audience also agreed and thought that the heartbeat and heavy breathing contrasted well together and added tension and made the final product more dramatic. By finding out audience feedback we can see that our final thriller opening meets the needs and expectations of our audience.
