1. As this was only a pilot questionnaire
only 8 people from the chosen
demographic (16+) . From the people
we did ask we found that the majority
did enjoy horror films. This tells us
that if our final questionnaire results
agree with those of the pilot study
that a lot of the target audience
chosen enjoy to watch horror films.
This would hopefully mean our
production would be appealing to
them.

2. Looking at the responses I have decided
that this question may have been to broad
to ask, and isn’t overly necessary
considering there is a question that focuses
on sub-genre. So in the final questionnaire I
feel this will be removed.

3. This question was useful but in
hindsight it would have been a
good idea to include the splatter
and slasher genres, as it seems this
is the sub-genre that will be
focused on. The question is useful
in telling us what sub-genre may be
more appealing. The zombie sub-
genre seemed rather popular and
this may in some way connect to
splatter or slasher as both contain
an element of gore.

4. From the responses a victim home
alone seems to be the most
desirable location for the horror
film. As more people would then be
able to relate to the setting as they
may experience it quite often which
could effectively make it more
frightening and realistic to them.

5. The kitchen knife seems most popular. It
also seems more realistic as it would be
unlikely that someone home alone
would have a gun or an axe at there
disposal. A kitchen knife also seems
more threatening in some ways as it
could draw out the death and the chase
building anticipation.

6. The results were helpful as initial ideas
included the use of a serial killer but
masked as people will think it could be
anyone around them. Serial killers also
connect to realism and isn’t as far-
fetched as some ideas for the villain. It
would also be easier maybe to do, as
other ideas if the makeup or acting
ability is lacking may become laughable
instead of scary.
