Question 1 - Where would you expect the horror film to be set? This question was a good thing to have because it let us know where the good places for us to set our films is and where we shouldn't set our film. A hospital was the least popular. This allowed us to not set our film here and potentially gain a few more viewers. The one that was most liked was an Abandoned Building; although we did jot choose this for our film to be set t was a good option for us. The woods was liked as well and this is where we chose to set our film. It is a good place because it seems creepy and can relate into mundane realism as most people have woods near or around them which makes the vibe for the film even scarier.
Question 2 - Do you prefer male or female actors in the film? As horror films are mainly targeted at a male target audience; we think this is why the majority wanted to see more females in the film as men would use them a sex objects and would most probably prefer to watch someone who they find attractive and a good actor compared to just a good actor. However 20% still wanted to see males in there; this is because they would still want to be n the film so that they could link themselves into the film and relate to mundane realism and could pretend that it is them next to the female actors which they are using a sex objects.
Question 3- What is your favorite genre of film out of the following? Horror was the most popular attraction which helped us make a easy decision as to what genre of film we wanted to choose. Although Horror was our initial idea this helped us make the final conclusion.
Question 4 - Do you feel different sounds and music build tension and suspense? This question was to tell us when to bring our music soundtracks in to build tension, which this question tell us that the audience would want the music to build up the tension as they feel as though this helps the film have scary factors in the scenes of our opening scenes. We will have to ensure that we have music in our film to ensure tension is building throughout the film, and we have to make sure that they suit the scene which they will be assigned to through the editing stages.
Question 5- Out of the following, which is your favorite horror film?Following the previous question, this one is to see what type of horror film our audience prefer from gore (which is the Saw film), to supernatural (Paranormal Activity). This shows that a supernatural film is the most preferable film, however Scream is not far behind. This suggests that we should have some paranormal elements in it to appeal to the audience but also involve murder, which could be present at the end of the feel so suspense can be build throughout the two minutes.
Question 6 - What do you expect from a horror film? This film is similar to the previous question but is more to the point as this justifies what the audience would like to see in the film. From our results you can see that they expect a murder in a horror film or some sort of death. In second place was paranormal,which emphasises the popularity of this being in horrors as this was again popular in the previous question. This means that we should either have murder or paranormal in our film.
Question 7- Which film title appeals to you the most? This question is all about the title of our film, which may or may not definitely be used, but these are they ones which have appealed to us so far. As you can see our results show that the name 'HiJack' is most preferred, which is fairly effective as it can be associated with someone being taken, but also could be a characters name. However these names may not be used meaning we may have to send out another questionnaire or ask this question again n the future, to ensure all our audience likes the name of our film.
Question 8- How many horror films do you watch monthy? This question is to see how much they watch horrors, which would tell us how much they know about horrors and what they would expect. This also tell us if their other response are valid as they watch various horrors so would know what to expect from one and what would be good to include in the opening
