Summaries of Responses from Survey

Summaries of Responses from Survey

1) Which thriller films do you like?

Most of the films the responders answered with, the thriller films belonged to action, supernatural, and psychological genres. Examples of films suggested were The Hunger Games, American Psycho, and The Mist. With this feedback, we can see that our thriller film is going to be quite different in terms of the amount of action/psychological elements; whereas supernatural plays a main role with the film idea.

2) what type of thriller films do you like?

3) Why do you like that genre?

4) What do you think of the idea of a Turkish supernatural-comedy thriller?

5) What culture would be the funniest in a thriller film?

6) Have you ever watched Turkish films/series, if so which ones and why did you enjoy them ?

7) Do you think a supernatural, Turkish comedy is suitable for the age range of 15+ when it involves black magic?

The majority of the audience agreed that it should be suitable for people over the age of 15; only one person had a different opinion. This suggests that it is appropriate for a thriller film and does not overplay the horror genre (despite the presence of a significant supernatural component), as thrillers are frequently mistaken for horror when they are actually subgenres of other genres.

8) Which following settings do you think is the most appropriate for our thriller film?

9) Do you think the three Turkish girls should end up the protagonist or antagonist? (heroic or evil)

The responses shown were quite surprising; with 10 people suggesting the girls be evil for their role, while 7 chose for a heroic role, and 3 being both. This makes it quite interesting yet optimistic for us to keep the original plan of keeping the three main characters as heroic; even though evil was chosen the most. This is because heroism was still quite popular.

10) Do you think our idea will be successful and why? 

The answers shown on the survey clearly connotes that the film will most likely become successful; with 15 people saying yes as the idea is interesting, and unique, and has potential. Only 1 person has said no as they have said the idea is bad; whereas 4 people have said maybe; with their reasoning being depending on how well the film is executed with such an idea like this. This clearly shows that our thriller film is capable of being intriguing enough to watch with just the details on the storyline and this survey.
