The first question asks people's age allowing us to analyse the answers within people's age categories. This will make it easier for us when we have decided a target audience for our opening sequence and we can then use the information from the survey.

The next questions asks which sub genre of thriller movie is most interesting to the person, to give us the results of the most popular genre. We can then use results to apply to our opening sequence knowing the most popular genres, which appeal to audiences.

As we are focusing on the opening sequence of the film, asking the question of what do you think the most important parts of the opening, will be useful for our planning.
