The effects of audience research

Audience research has a big impact on the outcome of the Thriller as it will help identify what changes does and does not need to be made in order for the Thriller to suite the audience. For example if in our Thriller we were to make a hostage situation, then we would need to ensure that the scene is made tense and dramatic so that the audience keep on watching because of the satisfaction they get from watching something that is put together well. On the other hand though if we were to make the scene relaxed with no worry for the hostage etc. then the scene would not be interesting and the audience would not be encouraged to watch the rest. The audience research is also vital to the genre as well. This is because we need to research the typical conventions to a Thriller in order to make a Thriller so that the opening film does not seem like other genre's like sci-fi, action and more. The research will give us a good understanding of the genre and what needs to be done in order for the opening film to be a Thriller. Our Thriller needs to be made with great concentration so that we make sure we are ticking all the boxes in the Thriller genre.
