This is the first questionnaire that my partner and I handed out to representatives from our target audience.

1. Questionnaire
This questionnaire will allow my partner and I to find out more about our target
audience generally, and what things would attract them to a horror movie. We
handed this questionnaire out to 20 people aged 15-25; this is the age group of
our target audience, ensuring that results will fit in with our audience’s views. By
handing out this questionnaire, we found out what features we should include in
our trailer, how much our magazine should cost, and which films we should be
inspired by. This is the questionnaire we handed out:
• What gender are you?
Male Female
• How old are you?
15 – 17 18 – 20 21-23 24- 26 27+
• A psychological horror is one which relies on the character’s fears and emotional
instability to build tension; the main character is usually a regular person who
creates the horror through their mental stability.
