On an uploaded Slideshare the user said how thriller films are more popular amongst people under the age of 25, and more commonly more popular with the females. This can be reinforcing the results that Aayush attained from his survey, as 60% of the people who completed the survey were female. Whereas 40% were male. Furthermore the people who completed the survey were mostly either 24+ or 15-19. This supports the claim stated by the user, and we think this supports our primary research.
The picture above shows how the user is talking about the typical codes and conventions of thriller films. People in Aayush's survey also stated they expected to see quick cuts, fast pace, tenser music, and dark lighting. These conventions are needed within a thriller because it keeps the tone uncomfortable, and mysterious. For example eerie music and quick cuts are in a film like Seven, here is a Youtube clip to show this:

As you can see from the clip, the film includes very fast paced eerie music, and quick cuts from the camera to present the idea of dread. These are some of the main characteristics of thrillers and which is why Seven is such a defining thriller film.
