Vox Pops

These specific vox pop questions taught my group about what other people outside our media class thought should be included in a thriller opening. The first question showed us that people will expect to see an introduction of the main characters in the first few minutes of thriller openings. Secondly, it taught us that we should also quickly introduce the premise of our thriller, giving people an idea of what the rest of the movie will entail.
The second question 'What setting would you expect to see?' showed us that we could include unsuspecting settings in our opening that people wouldn't think anything bad could happen in and where people would generally feel safe in such as a high school. We also found out that we need to make these settings scary in a way so we could use low key lighting to achieve this. Some people gave us obviously scary setting ideas which could also work well but I thought that it would create more mystery if we didn't use obvious settings such as abandoned areas or forests.
The people we asked 'How do thrillers make you feels?' mostly answered with the same sort of question. They said it would make them feel 'jumpy' 'scared' and 'nervous'. We need to try and convey this feeling by not giving away the whole plot in the opening or telling our audience who the killer is so they ask more questions while watching through our sequence.
