As there wasn’t much different in results to the other questions concerning interest and tastes I have decided not to target any particular gender but focus on age.
As Thriller was most popular, with most people above 17 saying that Thrillers were their favourite I have decided to target people above 18.
Due to Thriller being the most popular within not only the people questioned but the audience I want to target, I feel that a thriller would be the best to do as it is obviously an genre that will always have an audience to appeal to and an audience who appreciates and will look into seeing films of this genre.

As intellectually stimulating was the most popular option I feel that I should take this on board and use this for my own piece as well as a guide when choosing what films to analyse later. I will have to look films and compose a that make the audience and compose a plot which allows the audience to question and think about either what is happening or the character(s) themselves.
As a realistic story and a slasher movie are the most popular again I feel it would be wise to go down this road. I could perhaps incorporate the ‘serial killer on a spree’ typical plot into my piece but make it into something believable, rather than something of a joke. Focusing on more of the mind of the killer rather than the kill. This would be typical of the thriller genre and it would also be intellectually stimulating, creating a link with my other survey results.
I will have to look at films with male villains to allow me to create a believable plot and character for the male villain that is obviously shown to be in demand from these results.

As rural is the most popular this can easily be fitted into a plot that is believable, instead of something perhaps cliché and typical like a wood or a dark house.
Most people also said that a serial killer based plot does interest them. This links to my other results and it now is clear that a plot involving a serial killer would be best. Therefore I will have to look into films involving serial killers and also films that have maybe been brought up before.
There was a varied mixture of what was the most important element of a horror film. Most people said music and plot were the most important so I will have to incorporate music and work on creating a well thought out, interesting plot. Lighting, camera and editing were also mentioned, so I will have to think about those factors also.

Using these results I think that I will start it with a scene that appeals to be quite calm but has a sinister and mysterious feel to it, maybe by showing subtle oddness in the scene or within the character. I think a good film to look at for this would be American Psycho.
I think I will have to make the villain/main character out to be quite quiet and seemingly normal. From this point I feel that the plot would be based mostly on the characters mind, rather than the things around him. The thrill with be in figuring him out and asking why he does the things he does and what has lead him to do so. I will probably have to look at thrillers that involve a killer character as perhaps the main focus of the film.
Most people said that spiders, the unknown and failure are their biggest fears in life. I might be able to incorporate some of these into the plot and character by maybe making the character a failure and a product of peoples fear of failure. I could also go about the ‘unknown’ by making the character unpredictable and thought provoking. I will have to look at other films to collect notes on the characters and how I might go about this.
A lot of people mentioned Inception, Dark Knight, American Psycho and Silence of the lambs to be the best thriller they’ve seen. I think even though Inception is popular it is not fitting to look at to analyse as it doesn’t fit with the rest of the results with my questionnaire. However, the other three films might be visually interesting to look at, as well as providing useful points in character to look at in all the main villain characters.
These previous results are also mirrored in the question I asked about what plots seem more appealing as American Psycho, silence of the lambs and taxi driver came out on top. I think these films should all be included in the ones I use to analyse for my real media artefacts.
