In order to collect more research into what people like to see in a thriller film, we conducted, and recorded interviews with different people, analysing their views. We were able to ask questions which we felt we had left out of our questionnaire, and were able to make sure that all possible questions that we could've asked were featured in either our questionnaire or interview clips.

We were also able to target people we believed were likely to fit into our target audience. For example, we asked a 15 year old girl, and two 17 year old boys, as well as a 21 year old male. Their views were especially important for us in forming ideas on what we should or shouldn't include in our thriller film, and what films we could take inspiration from. 

This use of interviewing our target demographic enabled us to create a narrative idea which was tailored specifically to their opinions, as it is these people that we aim to impress with our thriller film. 

The question 'what convention of a thriller film is most important to you?' highlighted us which aspects of a thriller were most important for us to include. From the responses given we were able to conclude that a vulnerable female victim was the key convention which we must include in our own thriller.

It was however, difficult to ask many people who fit into our target demographic, as many of them were too shy to answer the questions whilst being filmed. This therefore limited the amount of people we were able to ask who fitted into our target audience, meaning the information gathered wasn't as detailed as it could've otherwise have been.
