The document discusses creating a survey on Survey Monkey to gain understanding of what to focus on in a horror short film. The survey was promoted on Twitter and Facebook to reach a wide audience, especially teenagers, to gain insight into what they like and dislike about horror films. This feedback will help with script writing, showing what to add more of (e.g. blood) or take out (e.g. less screams). The survey was also sent to students and teachers at the author's school to collect a wider range of audience feedback.

Data Science Poster Final
This document summarizes a project analyzing sentiment in tweets from the third 2016 US Presidential debate between Clinton and Trump. The team collected over 100,000 tweets using APIs and analyzed sentiment using the VADER analyzer, achieving 68% accuracy. Visualizations of keywords and sentiment were created and made available online. Sentiment analysis determined positive or negative emotions associated with text, and VADER was used as it is context-aware. Motivations included using tweets as a gauge of issue discussion and that social media is a popular place for political discussion.

Introduction to Bayesian Truth Serum
1. Bayesian Truth Serum (BTS) is a survey method that incentivizes truthful responses by having respondents provide their own answers to questions as well as estimates of what percentage of others would answer.
2. BTS scores responses based on how surprisingly common a respondent's answer is compared to their estimated distribution of others' answers. Answers that are more common than estimated receive higher scores, incentivizing truthful responses.
3. The premise of BTS is that individuals are generally best at estimating what beliefs and experiences are most common among others. By revealing discrepancies between personal responses and population estimates, BTS can identify untruthful responses.

This document summarizes the responses to a 10 question survey about horror film audiences and their preferences. Key findings include:
- The target age group is 16-18 and films should not exceed a 15 rating to appeal to most horror fans. Gore and supernatural elements are popular while icons are not.
- Both male and female audiences watch horror, but the target audience skews more female so adding "male gaze" could attract more male viewers.

The bedroom may have lighting issues or obstacles, which can be addressed with backup lights or moving objects.

Filming in a forest risks darkness, tripping, and weather, so bringing lights, watching footsteps, and dressing for weather are suggested. Outside risks include visible family, slippery ground, animal noise, and low light, so communicating with family, wearing proper shoes, moving animals, and checking the ground are recommended.

2) The murder of James Bulger in 1993 which the media similarly blamed on absent fathers and violent media without evidence. They exaggerated the threats and stigmatized social groups to generate outrage.

Maverick's confidence in answering Charlie signifies he is not intimidated by her
Bowling for columbine
The document outlines Michael Moore's film Bowling for Columbine and examines American attitudes towards guns. It shows how easy it is to obtain guns from banks and bullets from hair salons. Despite school shootings like Columbine, the NRA continues promoting pro-gun stances. Experts blamed outside influences like music instead of the widespread gun culture. Comparisons show the US has far more gun deaths than other countries due to long-held fears and the belief that guns provide protection and independence rather than danger. The news exploits these fears for profit through exaggerated crime stories.

Target audience research
- 1. To gain an understanding in what I should be focusing more in my horror short film I have created a survey monkey. I have used two very large social networking sites (Twitter and Facebook) to promote my survey. The reason in which I have done this is because it gives me a wider audience. Also these two social networking sites are mostly orientated around teenagers it will give me an insight into what they like and dislike about horror films. This is helps me with my script writing as it shows me what I should add more in (E.G blood) or what I should take out (E.G less screams). I have also sent this to a few students and Teachers at my school to have a wider audience feedback.
