From these results people would prefer in a thriller to have horror and pace in the opening, their favourite types of thriller are Drama, Horror and Spy. Sound and setting are most important to the people answering to make a good thriller. Things not to be put into a thriller would be a boring storyline and that people like a stereotypical plot, but with a mixed conclusion and twists in the plot. Finally, not a lot should be revealed in the opening of the plot, but enough to keep people interested.

I will use this information to help make up our storyline, pick our genre and to know what to use for our animatic - for example the pace and the horror genre should be used in our thriller opening mainly as they are most likely to keep the audience watching.
