Question 5 - Evaluation

As you can see from the print screens below, I have used to website Survey Monkey to get results about what should in of our film. This then would help us to figure out what makes the most successful thriller films. So to hold the audiences attention from the very beginning of the film, we had to include an action packed beginning. After looking at the results from the survey that we asked the public to fill in, we saw that if the beginning of the film was interesting for them to look at then they will be likely to stay and watch the rest of the film. Although there were some people who said that they wouldn't mind if the beginning wasn't action packed because they think that the rest of the film will become a lot more interesting.
We think that people should continue watching our film because it has got a lot of mystery in it which I think is a good technique because it makes the audience want to know what is going on. In our film we have flashbacks that end in cliffhangers as if to say "What will happen next?" or "Will he survive?" This technique was used brilliantly by Alfred Hitchcock which he called the MacGuffin. Where the audience was never really interested in the item that the hero's were looking for but that fact if the hero was going to survive the mission. This is why they should watch our film because it is full of action from beginning to end and makes the audience want to figure out what has been going on with Jonathan Sinclair. In the audience feedback that we got from surveymonkey a lot of people said that they preferred action thrillers than any other while there were a select few that said they like psychological, mystery and crime thriller which goes to show that they majority like thrillers that are generally filled with a lot of action while there are the select few that like the other kinds of thrillers.
