Focus Group Findings

After receiving the results from our focus groups, we were left to discuss some major aspects of what should be included in our opening thriller video.
The first results were taken from students of our target audience age range. This was crucial to us as we ultimately want our video to be viewed and enjoyed by teenagers. They specifically stated that they would expect a thriller film to make them jump, and have a number of red herrings. Therefore, we can assume that they would enjoy a false sense of security, only to be surprised and taken of guard when a new revelation is revealed. The also told us that they would expect talented actors to star in a thriller film, so that they can deliver the lines given in a believable way. This is something we will defiantly have to consider when making our video.
The second results were taken from our two media teachers. They have stated that they expect the feeling of suspense when watching a thriller. They also explored the idea of an unexpected antagonist, where the main villain in the film could be an ordinary person, the result of this being that the audience do not suspect them and are eventually surprised. Furthermore, a popular thriller film was mentioned, "Physco", this is a film that we plan to watch and hopefully gain inspiration for our video. Finally, a common idea that was discussed was being able to ask questions about a certain film throughout. This led them to becoming more involved in the film, something that we wish our viewers would feel also.
