We then chose the few that actually helped us identify our target audience.


The youngest age we asked was 16-20 year olds while the oldest was 36-40. Both male and female had the same questions and answered them sensibly.

We have found that the one sub-genre that the public like in a thriller is the action thriller and at the opposite end of the spectrum is medical.


The other, which consisted of only one person answering it, said they would prefer a twist.
So the main one was a problem.
Closely followed by cliff-hanger and mystery.
With this research it has helped me and the group come up with three pitches for our opening.
