This is the questionnaire that my group used to get information from people about their opinions of thriller films. We collected this information as it then gave us ideas about what to do within our thriller film.

Location for thriller film.

Locations for a thriller film. 

This could be a successful location to set a thriller film in as it looks very dark and abandoned. From this location being dark, this could create an eerie atmosphere making the audience further anticipate events that may occur. By using low key lighting it makes the location seem dangerous and shady. This makes the audience uncomfortable as they expect something bad to happen.  

I have chosen this location as it is unpopulated and deserted. This shows the setting is isolated. This would be an ideal location for a thriller based film because of the low key lighting used creates a tense atmosphere.
