2. What have you learned from your
audience feedback?
Our intended target audience was a range
between 16 - 21 year old's, both male and
female. I constructed a questionnaire to find out
who the slasher genre was aimed at.The
questionnaire gave me a chance to find out the
demographic of the people who would watch the
chosen genre of film.This questionnaire allowed
me to see that the younger generation preferred
scary movies rather than the older generation.
This shows the generation gap and I can connote
from this that as the older generation are
stereotypically more conservative and do not
prefer slasher movies.
3. Stalker Slasher films
As a teenager myself, I can understand that as a young person,
slasher movies are exciting to me because I like the adrenaline
rush. Below is a screen grab of a previous presentation in which
I analysed the content of my questionnaire results.The passage
below states why people enjoy watching stalker - slasher films.
Stalker - slasher; Reasons for liking the stalker- slasher genre
consisted of it being fun as it gives the public an 'adrenaline
rush'.The public are able to mock their friends when they get
scared which can be 'amusing'.They work as a 'therapy'.This is
because watching a slasher movie can be relaxing as they enjoy
knowing it isn't real. People like to scare themselves and watch
films that give them a 'thrill'.
