Vox Pops

For our vox pops myself and my group had to come up with some questions to do with thrillers and ask 4-5 people. We asked different people around 5 questions each and from what the we got back, we can see that a lot of people expect the thriller to excite them which would be done by building up tension, however not too scary as then it would fall into the category of a horror. These people said very similar things like with the age that they would expect the main character to be which a lot of them  had said a young age. As we have our vox pops and have collected peoples opinions on thrillers and what they expect, we can now use this for when we are creating our own opening sequence as we will be able to pick out what will fit best for the audience and what can bring their interest into the film more. One of the main things that we got from this was people like a thriller film to build tension throughout, making it a bit spooky at times however this is something you have to be careful of as we don't want to me it too scary and spooky in case it seems like a horror instead of a thriller. Before filming I think it is effective to create a vox pops as it helps to know what to do with the film you are creating, this is because you can get a sight of how people feel about certain genres and the specific things they expect to see within the film.
