The majority of the people that watch Thriller films are in the age range of 13-18years old, many of them said it was because it was a chance to spend time with mates. Many people said that they liked to be made jump and be scared, also that they are exhilarating and interesting to watch as they keep you on the edge of your seat.
From the people that I asked, more males preferred watching thrillers than females, also more men preferred action and horror thrillers whereas women preferred watching psychological and conspiracy thrillers, I think this is because men are more visual whereas as women think emotionally.
Most women said they preferred psychological and conspiracy thrillers, because they keep you thinking right to the end, and you become more emotionally involved with the character, therefore making it more realistic. Whereas men said that they preferred action and horror thrillers because the stunts are good and they normally have a good, but unrealistic, plot line they give them an andreline rush.
This research has helped with my film planning as I now know what the most popular genre for thriller films is. This is helping us decide what sub-genre to make our film in order to appeal to a wider audience. Also I found out not only what sub-genre to work with, but what age range to appeal more to, and what gender, as more men preferred thrillers, and more people aged 13-18 preferred watching thrillers, compared with other ages.
