For my textual research I made a questionairre with the following Questions:

1. What is your favorite Genre?

2. Do you enjoy Thrillers?

3. What should a good Thriller incorporate?

4. What is your favorite Film?

5. How often do you go to the Cinema?

6. How often do you purchase Films?

I interviewed 20 people between 15 and 60 of which: 6 were 15 to 18 to 25 years of age, 9 were 18 to 20 and  were older than 40.

1.For the first question 6 people preferred comedy all of which were 15 to 25 years old, 1 preferred animation (15-18), 3 preferred love films of which one was above 50, 5 answered Thriller of which one was above 50, 3 of them were 18 to 25 and one under 18, 3 answered action/ war films of which all were aged 15-25, lastly 2 of the above 50s preferred Drama.

2.For number 2 all except one(aged 15-18) enjoyed watching Thrillers.

3.For number three there were a variety of answers most mentioned a good story(suspenseful) some said good acting and  action and some said it needed a good ending a "twist" especially those that named thriller as their favorite film emphasized the importance of a good ending.

4. For favorite films 5 mentioned thrillers

5. For 5 I came to the conclusion that the 18 to 25 age group goes to the cinema the most with all but 2 of them saying they go at least once a month and one person saying they go nearly every week. The 18-25s are followed by the 15-18s of which also half go every month. Though one above 50 wrote they go every month the rest said they only went once or few times a year.

6. Again the 18-25s seem to be the ones that purchase the most films many saying they purchase multiple films a month and no one saying they never buy any. They are again followed by the 15 to 18s of which only one never buys films most buy on a regular basis and 2 buy every month.

Conclusion: Though thrillers arent the most popular according to the survey, they are widely liked by all age groups especially the younger, who also seem to be the best market for the film industry so one must conclude that a thriller has a good chance of being a success, especially if it incorporates a twist and a good story two characteristics my film does show.
