The Da Vinci Code - Example of crime thriller
1. Gender: Female
Age: 16
Answer: If i was to watch a thriller that was set in inner city or low-life i would be able to identify it as a crime thriller. When directors try to make their film not like the traditional thriller film it can sometimes seem too fake.
Inner City X
Suburbs
Countryside
Isolated
Hi-life
Low-life X
2. Gender: Female
Age: 20
Answer: I would expect a crime thriller to be set in low-life. Although i do like films which are set in isolated places like the countryside because although it's a big space it can give a feeling of an enclosed place because of the vast isolation.
Inner City
Suburbs
Countryside
Isolated
Hi-life
Low-life X
3. Gender: Male
Age: 29
Answer: Crime thrillers are mostly always set in busy inner cities to show hustle and bustle and distortion. I always enjoy thrillers which have traditional thriller conventions.

  1. Elodie there is some interesting research here. You have used a range of methods to discover audience expectations of film but you needed to write up your findings and say how you have used research in the construction of your own thriller opening.
