Audience research

To do the audience research I used the i-Sight on my Macbook to record the answers. The people I asked were representative of males and females aged 15 to 50, which is the target audience for thrillers.

Most of the audience said they like thrillers but weren't sure on the difference between a thriller and a horror. They mostly all said that suspense and the plot were the most important parts of a thriller. The audience I interviewed would also rather watch it at home instead of the cinema, mainly out of embarrassment as no-one wants to scream (as they can be scary) in the middle of the cinema. The majority of the audience said that they had watched it with someone else, and the younger audience often watched them at a sleepover or when they were staying with another friend.
