Questionnaire On Thriller Genre.



I asked around 10 people for each age range specific questions to do with the thriller genre , to see what they liked to see in a thriller and what draws them to watch the thriller. The people i asked belonged to 3 different age ranges.

These are my results :

15-18 : The results from the 15-18 age range. I found that 16,17 + 18 year olds were more intersted in watching thrillers compared to the younger people. Eventhough they said they would prefer to watch a teen flick or a comedy. The most comman favorite thrillers which came up for this age range were Kidulthood,Adulthood+ The Butterfly effect. The reason they liked these films were because they were able to relate to it but it still had all the aspects of a thriller genre such as the intense atmosphere and the fact that they were on the edge of their seat for most of the movie + wanting to know what happens next. This age range said they most like to be able to relate to the characters in a thriller movie because it helps them understand + follow the film easier. I also asked what was the preferred sub-genre of thriller movies + in this age range they mostly preferred crime + action thrillers because they enjoy the suprising twists as they make them want to watch it more.



19 - 30 : The 19-30 year olds all said that they prefered to watch a thriller than a comedy or a rom-com. They said the main reason for this was because they thought a thriller genre had all the element for a great movie ! The most comman favorite thrillers in this age range were , Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels + Silence Of The Lambs . They said that the storyline in silece of the lambs was gripping and throughtout the film had them on the edge of there seat wandeing what was going to happen next. They also said they really liked the plot twist at the end. The main reason why they liked, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels was simply because it was from the british film industry, they thought that the film was very engaging which enabled them to stay interested throughout the film.



31 + : This age range were abit different to the others as they mostly said they liked to see real life happenings + that they prefer psychological  + crime thrillers , this could be because horrors + psychological thrillers have the same sort of elements.The favorites in he category were The God Farther + Seven . When i asked this age range about thrillers they also mentioned that they like certain directors in for there films which they said they really liked Steven Spielburg + Quentin Tarentino .
