Focus group questions

If you could build a thriller from scratch what innovative new ideas would you include? For instance a particular location or maybe a plot twist in your story?

This we found was too vague a question and thus not only were the results too general to chart effectively but also very sparse. this is why we developed new questions like the ones you see accompanied by their results in charts below.

Do you have any idea about the persona and appearance of the protagonist in a thriller?

And the antagonist?

Do you like the stereotype of a damsel in distress or would you prefer a fresh storyline?

What do you think of the idea of a maniacal hacker with his sight's set on world domination as a
film?

Our results were quite peculiar since all of the suggestions that were submitted seem to follow the stereotype of a typical thriller however when they were asked if they would prefer to see a different take on the genre or the normal route followed they chose to have a different take.
What we can learn from this is that we should attempt to be more unique and set ourselves apart from the crowd however we must also firmly base our roots of the film soundly within the thriller genre.
