What i found out after asking my questionnaire to people-

Question 1- The main 2 favourite kinds of thrillers that people choose were horror and mystery. This implies that audiences like feeling on edge and tension in a thriller as both of these kinds of thrillers create that feeling to an audience. Also it shows that the audience like something to solve whilst watching a thriller as this is what a mystery thriller normally contains for the audience. It shows that they like the feeling of not knowning is going to happen next as both of these kinds of thrillers give this feeling.

Question 2- Most people i asked thought that thrillers are normally aimed at 15- 18 year olds and above. This shows that audience think that thrillers are to completed or scary for younger people to watch. It also shows that audiences expect that thrillers should relate to older people.

Question 3- The most popular answer for this was cities. This shows that audiences like to see places that they are familar with and that they can relate to in a thriller as most people tend to walk through a city in their everyday lives.
