From the questionnaire data, we can see that people like to see the same sort of big name actors of thrillers, Liam Neeson is a name that came up as one who even relate the genre with this actor. From the questionnaire we can tell that the younger audience mostly likes action thriller which in relation to our film this shows that if we wanted to attract the younger demographic then we should add more action in our trailer, from a directory point of view the type of actor people think off when they think thriller film is Christopher Nolan, this shows us that the director Christopher Nolan has something that makes his name and his films memorable therefore we should try and add elements of his directing into our trailer therefore we should watch his films and see what he is doing differently. Also when asking some people we found out that people enjoy a romantic element in the film but the majority said they don't and would rather see a psychological element this means they would like it to challenge the way they think about the characters and the way they think about the story line in a whole. However to find more conclusive evidence we would have to ask a wider age range to see the exact type of thriller film they would like to see.
