What music do you think would suit the opening to a thriller best? Or more than one? Or none of these?

What types of thrillers do teenager prefer?

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels



Sin City



Casino Royale




Which film do you find most appealing and why?

1: I found Sin City most appealing because I like the black and white colour scheme that the creator has used, also the use of random bright colours to make elements more important and stand out.

2: I think the film I found most appealing was Casino Royale as it has lots of action scenes which I enjoy and also it has Daniel Craig in who is a good actor as I have see from different films he is in.

3. Casino Royale, because I prefer the storyline.

4. They all appeal to me, and as I haven't seen Lock, Stock and Two smoking barrels I would be interested in watching it, as it seems like a crime thriller that could also make you laugh.

Thriller Film Audience Research

What I want to find out:

- The audience's expectation's of independant/mainstream film
- What type of thrillers teenagers prefer
- What music is scary/tense
- What teenagers are scared of
- What storyline would appeal to them


How I am going to find out:

- Questionaire
- Interviews with film clips/posters
- Interviews with music clips
- Interviews with pictures/fim clips or questionaire.
- Give examples of story lines to find out what they prefer


What I expect to find out:

- I might expect to find out that people around the certificate age of 15 haven't seen many independent films, therefore don't have much expectations. I would think that for mainstream films, they would expect to see good actors, locations, and special affects.
- they might enjoy action, british gangster thriller? Although I would expect girls and boys views to be different.
- Jumpy or tense music
- I would expect real life situations and villans to be something that might scare the audience
- I think everyone will have different opinions on what storyline they prefer, but again I think that anything realistic would appeal to them.
