Audience Research Into Conventions Of A Thriller

Conventions of Thrillers

We asked  members of the public to complete a survey that we had created. We analysed each individuals answers and have established that most people like to see a Thriller that has the main two characters, which play the 'Protagonist and Antagonist'. As a result of this, in our opening two minutes of out film, we would like to include a character that plays the role of the antagonist, and another character that plays the protagonist.

We also established that all the people we surveyed, think Se7en and Shutter Island are excellent films. We have researched into the two films and discovered that Se7en and Shutter Island have the editing in time with the music, such as fast cuts and explosions, this will create a mysterious and tension building atmosphere around the audience, in turn attracting the audience to the film, therefore making it enjoyable to watch.
