  • Crime thrillers                         9
  • Supernatural thrillers
  • Conspiracy thrillers                10
  • Disaster thrillers






This pie chart helps me to see that horror and mystery genre's are the most popular amongst the people who participated with the questionnaire. As a result this really influences me in my decision to create a thriller/horror sub genre.











What do you think is the best title for my Thriller film?

1. Abandoned                               1,3,4,5,8
2. From the depths within             7.10
3. Remains                                    9
4. Silent Witness
5. How a demon is made.             2,6

From the results of my pie chart it's rather obvious that Abandoned is the title that most people are going for. From the depths within came second, however i like the title Abandoned because of it's simplistic but dramatic statement, and the fact it has two meanings within the films story-line. I wouldn't choose how a demon is made, because that kind of gives who the creature is away, and thats meant to remain a mystery for the audience until they watch it.
