         Survey of 20 people.
Horror Film Questionnaire


We decided to create a questionnaire for the audience to fill in so that
   we got a better idea of what they prefer and enjoy when watching
  horror films. By doing this we can create our film specifically to the
  chosen options making it more likely for the target audience to like
                           and enjoy the film.
We wanted to find out why the audience enjoys horror films and what
 exactly puts them off watching any. If we know what the audience do
  not like we can ensure that our film’s content is something that they
                                 will like.
Favourite horror sub-genre
   From the pie chart we can see that the 2 preferred sub genres are Zombie
    and Slasher, followed by Vampire, Monster/Alien and Other. We have
    decided to with the Slasher sub-genre as it would be easier to present than a
    Zombie, Vampire or Monster/Alien film. Also we would be able to create a
    Slasher film effectively with the use of props and we may not have been able
    to made the other sub-genres as effective. We were originally going to
    produce a Supernatural/Slasher however from the results it seems as though
    the target audience does
    not really like                             Preferred Horror Sub-Genre
    supernatural, making us
    opt with slasher.                                                      Zombie
                                                                         Supernatural
                                                                         B-Movie
                                                                         Apocalyptic

                                                                         Other
How the audience hears about new
films.
   From the results it shows that the target audience find out
       about new films in a variety of places such as social
      networking, TV and public adverts. This shows that in
     general people do not seek out new trailers and instead
     wait for them to be released publicly. This can suggest
       that people do not actively seek out horror films but
         instead watch them if the trailer or reviews seem
                            interesting.
What most people expect to see in a horror
film.
   This graph shows the most popular expectations in horror films. Number one
    being blood followed by jump moments, darkness and death. These choices
    highlight, quite quickly, the stereotypical horror environment. This is a helpful
    question to ask as it shows what people expect to see. By knowing this we
    can choose to follow the audience’s expectations or do something new and
    unexpected. If we choose to do something unexpected in our film the
    audience may not like it however it may be refreshing to change the typical
    expectations.

Preferred lead?
From the results I can see that the majority of the target audience do not mind
whether the lead role is a male or female character. It seems that none of the
female people we asked t fill in the questionnaire said that they would
specifically prefer a male lead in the film and opted for either or female and only
one person from the entire survey selected male. This could show that the
audience does not really care for a ‘final girl’ but for the storyline of the film
instead. This may lead to

Questionnaire Results

  • 1. Questionnaire Results. Survey of 20 people.
  • 2. Horror Film Questionnaire We decided to create a questionnaire for the audience to fill in so that we got a better idea of what they prefer and enjoy when watching horror films. By doing this we can create our film specifically to the chosen options making it more likely for the target audience to like and enjoy the film. We wanted to find out why the audience enjoys horror films and what exactly puts them off watching any. If we know what the audience do not like we can ensure that our film’s content is something that they will like.
  • 3. Favourite horror sub-genre  From the pie chart we can see that the 2 preferred sub genres are Zombie and Slasher, followed by Vampire, Monster/Alien and Other. We have decided to with the Slasher sub-genre as it would be easier to present than a Zombie, Vampire or Monster/Alien film. Also we would be able to create a Slasher film effectively with the use of props and we may not have been able to made the other sub-genres as effective. We were originally going to produce a Supernatural/Slasher however from the results it seems as though the target audience does not really like Preferred Horror Sub-Genre supernatural, making us opt with slasher.

  • 4. How the audience hears about new films.  From the results it shows that the target audience find out about new films in a variety of places such as social networking, TV and public adverts. This shows that in general people do not seek out new trailers and instead wait for them to be released publicly. This can suggest that people do not actively seek out horror films but instead watch them if the trailer or reviews seem interesting.
  • 5. What most people expect to see in a horror film.  This graph shows the most popular expectations in horror films. Number one being blood followed by jump moments, darkness and death. These choices highlight, quite quickly, the stereotypical horror environment. This is a helpful question to ask as it shows what people expect to see. By knowing this we can choose to follow the audience’s expectations or do something new and unexpected. If we choose to do something unexpected in our film the audience may not like it however it may be refreshing to change the typical expectations.

  • 6. Preferred lead? From the results I can see that the majority of the target audience do not mind whether the lead role is a male or female character. It seems that none of the female people we asked t fill in the questionnaire said that they would specifically prefer a male lead in the film and opted for either or female and only one person from the entire survey selected male. This could show that the audience does not really care for a ‘final girl’ but for the storyline of the film instead.
