Survey

By asking the participants what contributes to their individual/personal watching of a film my group and I can collaborate this into our coursework and our research into the thriller genre to form an understanding of how film makers obtain their audiences and how advertisement affects the number of viewers and therefore the ratings and overall success of the film. In previous questions it was made clear upon analysing the results that some thriller films are obviously more popular than others; this question leads on from this in helping the group decipher what elements of film advertisement are more recognisable to the selected audience.

As you can see, the participants value the impression given within a  trailer as this contributes to their selection of film as well as recommendations and the actors/actresses featured within the film itself. None of the participants selected the option that stated the company/producer had an impact on their choice of film however my group and I decided this was inaccurate e.g. young audiences are drawn to companies such as Warner Bros. and Walt Disney and this contributes to their watching of a film.
