Questionnaire
3) What sub genre of Horror do you most enjoy?
Slasher = 7 Action = 4 Gothic = 1 Paranormal = 3 Psychosocial = 1 Zombie = 6 Other = 3 |
Why were doing a questionnaire:
Our squad produced a questionnaire as a source of research into horror films. We studied the audiences' preferences by finding out a variety of views from our selected target audience. This information helped us to see the type of horror films people are interested in and what they feared in a film, which helped us structure an idea for our own opening title sequence. We gave our questionnaire to a wide variety of different aged people within our target audience, meaning we could obtain an accurate conclusion of what they like and dislike. Our results:
1) Age range: a) >11 = 2 b) 12-15 = 5 c) 16-18 = 12 d) 19-22 = 4 e) <22 = 2 Of these results, this proportion was male and female: 2) How often do you watch Horror movies?
Under 2 a month = 4 3 times a month = 11 4 times a month = 7 Over 5 times a month = 3 4) How do Horror movies make you feel?
Scared = 10 Nervous = 6 Disgusted = 4 Excited = 4 Other = 1 |
We made sure these results were not biased by taking 5 sets of results, containing 5 people each in different public areas around Gloucester town. We made sure that all bias factors like being outside a curtain shop or only asking people who appeared approachable. We got round these factors by being in a big public place in town to maximise the mix of people around us and asking every fifth person who walked by.
From our reliable questionnaire we can conclude that as the cliche goes with the link between the genre Slasher and males, it is true as 7/16 males asked rather slasher than any other genre (The most by 3 votes, question 3). Males are looked upon as more masochistic when watching Horror. This is correct as from question 4 we can see that most males get a rush of excitement when watching Horror.
We sculpted our Horror OTS around this, and all the rest of our research on audiences.
