Vox Pop Analysis

Vox Pop Analysis

Question 1: If you were to make your own thriller, what would you include in it?

Responses:

“Suspense and tension.”

“Fight scenes.”

“Explosions and some car chases maybe.”

“I think I would include a lot of chase scenes, guns, a lot of fighting stuff like that.”

Overall this questions responses shows that people want fast paced action movies that include lots of fight scenes and guns. When we make our preliminary film we will have to include a fast paced plot with some fight scenes and possibly a weapon being used. We will have to have a clear hero/ victim(protagonist) and villain/killer (antagonist) and roles portrayed by other member of the group that will blend in with the rest of the scene.

Question 2: What’s your favourite thriller and why?

Responses:

“High Plains Drifter because it’s very intriguing.”

“Fast and Furious 3 because it’s got a chase in it which I like a lot.”

“Psycho because it’s got a lot of action in it.”

“Probably Silent Hill because it’s got a lot of good characterisation and the back story is really good.”

These questions responses show that people like fast paced action movies, mysterious and jumpy movies and that some people even like western movies. When we make our preliminary film we will have to some sort of theme throughout so that the audience will know what the genre or sub-genre we are trying to achieve and hopefully satisfy and please that audience. Our actors will have to be believable and display a wide range of actions based around the genre to make the opening effective and likable as possible. We should include good camera angles or unique locations to create an iconic and effective thriller opening.

Question 3: What do you like to see in a thriller?

Responses:

“Suspense and tension.”

“Action.”

“Action and some adventure.”

“I like to see a lot of action so it’s a very fast paced movie with a good soundtrack.”

The results from this question show again that the audience enjoy action and tension in thriller movies. It has become apparent that we have to include some kind of fight scene or killing in our preliminary task in order to fulfill the audience desires. It’s also important that we have a good soundtrack and/or sound effects to accompany our video as this will add the extra tension that the audience wants to experience watching the opening. We want the opening to be unique and powerful to create a defined and well directed scene that the audience will love and that we can enjoy making.

Summary:

Overall I felt we got very helpful responses. We will try to make our thriller opening powerful and unique by, adding unusual editing techniques, different transitions and a good soundtrack. This should help our opening because it will add an enigma and tension to our production. I also believe that the responses allowed us to see what our audience would expect to see in a thriller film and what would make them want to watch ours. Overall it was very fun to make our vox pops and I really enjoyed doing something different for the course. It was interesting to get other people's opinions and it turned out to be very sucessful.
