Audience Research

We carried out our Audience research by creating a questionnaire and also by creating an online survey. we found out by carrying out our audience research that mainly 15-18 year olds took part in our research and that 85% of them were female and 15% male, we also found out that 82% of them like horror films. we also found out that most people that took part also prefer horror films to be set at night which is good because our horror movie trailer is mainly set in the dark. Most people also prefer gore in horror films so that is another point we can take in consideration whilst filming. 40% of people prefer horror films to be about something being hidden then being uncovered, 36% of people like horror films to be about someone being driven mad and 24% of people like horror films to be about something bad returning from that past. Most people prefer horror trailers not to show the identity of the killer. The setting that people preferred to be displayed in a horror film are 36% abandoned house, 29% house, 24% forest, 11% graveyard. 70% of people prefer paranormal horror films and 30% of people prefer 'torture porn' like Saw. People watch horror films with friends of mixed sex 28%, friends of same sex 26%, on own 20%, with family 16%, partners 10%.

  1. Good work by your group here but you need to evaluate the research methodology you decided upon. Compare it with other ways you could have undertaken this research, and also think about probelms in your research. Sample size? Not knowing enough about respondants?etc.
