horror film questionnaire and results


The results of this questionnaire are as follows:

1. I made sure that I asked an equal amount of males and females so that I had a fair result.

2. The age of people I gave my questionnaire to were between 15-39 as this was the age of my target market.

3. Most of the people that I asked said that they liked horror films as this was the point of the questionnaire.

4. I found that the thing my target audience disliked most about horror films was when they were 'cheesey'. I will keep this is mind when making my trailer and I will try to make it look as professional as possible.

5. The most popular kind of horror film that my target audience liked to watch was supernatural. Therefore when creating my media products I shall use a supernatural theme.

6. When I gathered the results from my questionnaire I discovered that most of my target audience would not like to see a horror film in 3D.

7. My target audience said that there isn't anything that they would find particularly inappropriate in a horror film.

8. From my questionnaire I found that the features that make a horror film successful include tension-building music and quick cuts.

9. My target audience had a wide range of favourite horror movies, however the main reason that it was their favourite was because it made them jump.

10. From my questionnaire I found that my target audience's least favourite films all were quite old and therefore the special effects were not very good. This means that I will make sure that the special effects are effective.

11. When my target audience choose a film they choose it because of the plot.

12. The target audience for my media products said that they would like to see the trailer on the website and they would also like it to be interactive.

13. My audience would like to see the antagonist on the poster for my film.

14. From my results I found that the target audience for my film would prefer to see an advert electronically.

15. Once again my audience decided that the poster should have an image of the villain.
