Research

This week, we split into groups and went to participate into some market research on Thrillers. We learnt how to use a video camera and interviewed people to ask them out about their favourite thrillers. We interviewed a variety of generations including the older generation in Mr Carder, the ever so slighlty younger generation in Miss Thompson and the teenage audience in Myles Wilson. This gave us an insight into how to use a video camera and attach microphones to conduct interviews.

In our interviews we learnt what people's favourite thrillers were, what they thought made a thriller and what they liked about a thriller. We were given a variety of answers into what people's favourite thrillers were including North to West, Jaws and Panic Room. We also learnt that people thought suspense, shock and cliffhangers were 3 main factors in what made a good thriller which gave us some idea in what our thriller could include. We also learnt that people thought building up suspense was one of their favourite qualities in what made a good thriller as it made them want to watch on more.
