From the results above I can see that the audience generally prefer a thriller with a clear divide between good and bad or hero and villain with as little speech as possible but at the same time providing an on the edge of your seat tense atmosphere for them to enjoy. The film therefore must have clear characters set in motion Prop’s theory on character types, also have massive scenery and unique but unusual shots to create the atmosphere that puts you near the edge of your seat. Music here will also help to build the tension and create the atmosphere needed, it is generally scene that classical or instrumental music aids in this build up for the viewer at hand and so research is needed.
