Survey - Q10 Results

In our final question, we asked the participants to rank the following films in order of preference (1= worst, 10 = best). We then totalled all the numbers up to see which film was most popular overall, giving us an idea of what sort of thriller may be popular with our target audience. The films we gave to rank were:

     The Dark Knight           Blair Witch Project

Bourne Ultimatum              Shutter Island
     Drive                                Inception

       Pulp Fiction              Silence of the Lambs
Psycho                               Taken

The results of the survey were:

Silence of the Lambs - 188
Inception - 178
The Dark Knight - 171
Taken - 162
Blair Witch Project - 146
Pulp Fiction - 145
Psycho - 142
Shutter Island - 131
Bourne Ultimatum - 116
Drive - 106

These results don't show a specific type of thriller genre that is popular. However, the highest rated films in these results, tend to be ones with interesting/complicated plot lines such as Silence of the Lambs and Inception which corresponds to the results of Q9, which showed that most people were likely to go to see films with interesting plots lines. This means that these results also show that for our film to be most successful, it is necessary to have an interesting plot line.
