For our focus groups in my previous group NORTH STAR we decided to ask both boys and girls in seperate groups. We had five girls in one group and five boys in the other.
the first question that we asked was - What do you want from a thriller?
girls answers: *psychological thrillers that mess with your mind and creep you out
*mysterious films that keep you on edge throughout
*something that draws you in, intrigues you
boys answers: *they liked thrillers that were packed with action and fast movement
*films with fast editing and loud sounds
*something that grabs your attention
From these answers we can see that what a boys interpretation of a thriller film is different from what the girls thought.
second question- What is your favourite thriller?
girls answers: *Black Swan because it messes with your mind and makes you think
*Shutter island because there is a major twist at the end which
catches you by surprise
boys answers: *The dark knight because from the very start it is filled with action and
surprise and scary masks.
Thoughts on thrillers
boys answers: *for a thriller to work there must be well known actors and a typical
storyline
girls answers: *they had a completely different view and wanted less known people with
mysterious characters which is interesting as the boys interpretations of a thriller were different to the girls.
