03 April - 08 April

Unforutanely, i will be unavabile to do Media Coursework, via the Blog, due to the fact i wil be in Poland and Germany History Trip. Sorry! x

So, myself and Hannah decided to do a series of shot so that we can train our self to use the camera and to identify the shots that will be used in our thriller trailer. I began to edit the shots, so that we could blog it on here. However, it is not yet completed and due to the fact that it's the Easter Holidays, i will not be able to continue editing the shots, and therefore it will have to be posted when we come back from this term.

Results

8 out of 12 of the people we surveyed preferred to “Think and try and work out the plot” rather than to “Sit and enjoy the film” which received 4 out of the 12 people. This tells us that our thriller needs to have a strong plot which allows the audience to think so that they can be involved, and so that it keeps the interested.




Horror and Crime both received the highest votes which was 6 each. Action and Psychological also received the same votes which was 4 each. However, Sci-Fi and Spy are shown as not being the sub-genre they enjoy in our young audience.

From this graph, our audience preferred to be shocked more than the others. They also like an element of Suspense as well. Humour and Blood & Gore are also elements enjoyed, however slightly less, whereas Cliff Hangers received nothing, which is therefore not enjoyed.

Our audience like to Spot Anomalies in thrillers, which backs up the idea that they like to “think and try to work out the plot”. The Protagonists also fared well with our audience as this option received the 2nd most. Also, the Antagonists are our 3rd most important to watch in thrillers. Settings, on the other hand, received no votes, and are not the aspect that is enjoyed.

The Story appears to attract our readers more to a thriller. However, the Director, and other aspects also appear to interest our audience. Although the cast or music did not appeal to our audience, showing that a good Story is likely to attract our audience more.

In conclusion our audience are citizens who enjoy a mixture between Crime, Horror, Psychological and Action. They are more interested in spotting clues to attempt to work out the plot of the story. However, shockers are appreciated and as are the suspense of the film.
