As you can see we asked a wide range of ages on this questionnaire. We mostly
asked people 16 and above as we thought that people in this age range were more
likely to watch horror films. Also because our film will probably be targeted at
ages 16 and above.
We tried to ask females and males equally but found that we had actually asked more females than males. We wanted to ask both females and males because our film is going to be targeted at both genders and not just one.
We asked whther people actually watched horror films and the majority of the people do and only a small number don't.
If the people answered 'yes' then they were asked a few more questions. We then asked how often they watch then. We found that most people watched horror films between 0 and 3 times a week.
Then we asked what horror genre they mostly watch to see what was most popular. As you can see, paranormal horror is most popular. We will think about this when producing our film.
We found out that most poeple will watch horror films at home.
Most poeple will watch horror films with other people such as their friends. So we need to think about all of the different types of poeple that will be watching the horror film and try to make it for everyone.
We asked people how they feel when watching a horror film. The most popular emotion we found was 'scared' and 'excited'. This did not come as a surprise to us. In our film we are going to try to create these emotions.
From these findings we found that most people watch films at night. We decided this was because this helps set a scary atmosphere.
We found that most females are scared of male characters. We have found that most characters that play the villan are male and the victims are usually female this is probably why we have found these results.
Lastly we asked what type of character scares them the most. We found that a Demon/Ghost would scare most people the most. We will think about this when we are creating our film.
This is getting better all the time Alex. For good marks though you must make your comments more analytical and reflective i.e. why decisions were made, feeling about those decisions, connotations of e.g. camera angles. In the audience research did you get any surprise answers or findings? How will you act on the information you gathered? What will you do to show your film is informed by your audience's opinions?
