Choice

The audience wants total mystery. From the two types of the murder mystery movie’s stories, they like the closed one, where the killer in unknown and you find out who it is at the end of the movie, or, you don’t. if the series continues. We definitely have to keep the killer’s identity unknown in our movie. The audience doesn’t want to see him.

Midsomer murdersSherlock HolmesInception

Choice of movie

The majority of our audience likes Sherlock Holmes series as the best murder mystery series – in this case. The series are about a private detective that’s called by the police whenever they can’t find the murder. He uses science to do that. And it’s followed by the Midsomer murders which is also about how a detective solves crimes that are happening in a small town called Midsomer. So it looks like the audience likes to see someone in charge of the crimes.

Interesting story line Lots of mystery Many crimes and the killer is unknown

The reason why?

So our audience likes to see crimes and feel the mystery from a movie. This question also shows that. They also like the killer to be unknown and the storyline to be interesting for them to feel the adrenaline and the dynamics there. For this, the sound has to catch the people in the action as well by giving them the feeling of suspense and make them not only watch the moment, but live it.

Meeting Evil Blair Witchothers

Choice of the movie

There were 2 main ‘worse murder mystery movie ever seen’ and those were Meeting Evil and Blair Witch.In the first one there is a man who’s killing some people and he got friends with one of the police officers that’s dealing with the case. It’s too long and the action is happening too slow. We mustn't have that in our movie. In the second one, there is one girl who went to the woods for 2 days to see if there’s the witch called Blair there and what’s happening.

What didn’t you like about it?

Frequency

Not making sense No conclusion

The reason why

These two reasons are kind of linked because if the movie is not making sense it won’t have a conclusion also. We have to be careful that our movie would make sense and bring the best we can to put in on the screen. They want to see something interesting and something that would take their breath. I think that each movie has to have a conclusion and something to remain with after seeing it. It should teach you something for it to be worth watching.
