Survey on thrillers

My survey on Thrillers;

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TZSQ532


I carried out a survey on Thrillers to 11 people, here is the outcome;

From carrying out this survey, I have found out that horror and psychological thrillers are the most popular and that opening sequences only sometimes attracts the viewers interest. People don't mind whether the protagonist is male or female as they believe that gender does not matter, that it won't effect if the film is good or not. A lot of people have said they like unexpected twists, possibly because this would keep them interested throughout the film. The main traits that people say their reason for watching a thriller is the emotional outcome and the plot, people like to experience feelings while watching, whether it be sad, happy, scared or excited. Almost everyone who took my survey has said that sound effects and editing does matter in a thriller, I would agree with them on this as I believe that both these things put the thrill in thrillers.

These answers will help me and my group with our own opening sequence to a thriller as we can decide upon things based on this survey.
