Focus Group Interview




1. Do you enjoy thriller films? Explain why.

We asked our focus group this question to gain a specific understanding of why our target audience enjoys this genre. This will help our generalised understanding of what makes a good thriller film, and so we would implement these qualities into our own film to make it more entertaining and appealing to our audience.

2. What do you think makes a good villain?

We asked our focus group this question to understand what makes a good villain for a film, more specifically a thriller film. The answers received will hopefully give us as an idea of traits and qualities of good villains and implement them into making our villain just as effective as the ones that our focus group preferred. Some of the answers we received involve the backstory and how the character develops as the film goes on.

3. If you had to choose your favourite movie, that revolves around a thriller, what would it be?

We chose to ask this question to our focus group as we thought that the answers given by them would help us understand what people like to see in thriller films. Using that knowledge, we could take what ever aspects of those films made those films so enjoyable for our target audience and try to implement those things into our own films in a way that would make them enjoy our film too.
