Analysis of Results

We conducted a survey with 25 students around school asking them questions about Thrillers, in order to help us create a suitable opening sequence for our target audience. In the questionnaires we asked open and closed questions to gain a variety of quantitative and qualitative data, allowing us to have statistics and opinions in our overall research.

Our target audience are teenagers, fifteen years and over, which will allow us to rate our film 15. The questionnaires were handed out to sixth formers whose ages range from 16-18.
