My survey

This is a link to the survey I am conducting as part of my research into the thriller genre;
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Om_2fEa2GbiO6tZV2e_2f1la9A_3d_3d

The results
42 people took my survey, I would rather have had more however not many people chose to respond.
Firstly majority of those who took my survey were female and between the ages of 16-20. I think this is a good age range to target as it is our age range allowing us to think of what we would want in a thriller as well as those who are older.
Majority of people watched films weekly which proves that majority of those who took the survey could be experienced viewers who know what they want and what they expect. However the majorities favourite genre is romance although the next highest is thriller which means that some may not what many thrillers but hopefully they can still give good advice.
Thankfully majority prefer films of the 15 certificate, I think this is good because I want our film to aim to be this certificate as I have not watched many 18 certificate films and I do not know much about them.

Most said "suspense" "action" "mystery" "crime" "an exciting twist" "horror" to this question. "For AS Media I am researching the thriller genre, in you own opinion what is a thriller genre?" I think this gives me a good idea of what to put into our thriller film to make it appealing to the audience.
Majority expect action and intensity in a thriller film as well as a gripping story line and murder.

Over all the survey has been a success in helping me with the start of planning my thriller, I think the target audiences will be young adults from the age of 16 maybe to about 25. My thriller has to include suspense and intensity and perhaps a murder but in this murder I have to be careful because too much detail could put the rating up to an 18 certificate which would effect the target audience.
