Research:Questionnaire.

Primary research is important when creating a thriller movie because you need to know who your target audience is, and what kinds of things they'd like to see. This means that the movie will receive better results from the audience because their view has been taken on board, and used in the film.
I asked a mixed group of thirty people to answer my questionnaire.
