Horror genre questionnaire
This questionnaire aims to gather feedback from its target audience of 16-34 year olds on horror films to help plan and produce the film company's upcoming horror movie. It asks questions about what genres of horror films respondents prefer, their favorite horror movies, what scares or interests them about the genre, and their opinions on common horror film tropes like jump scares, three-act structure, settings and music. The goal is to understand audience preferences to make creative decisions for their new film.
Audience research- Survey Analysis
The document discusses research conducted to inform the creation of a psychological thriller film. It asks respondents questions about their gender, age, preferred film genres and subgenres, what attracts them to thriller films, favorite character types, scary themes, and what makes a good thriller. The most popular genres are action and thrillers. Psychological thrillers and themes of murder, paranoia and being followed test well. Respondents enjoy heroes and compelling storylines. The research will help the filmmakers design an appealing thriller.
Thriller movie questionnaire
The survey results show that psychological thrillers were the most popular subgenre among respondents. When asked about appealing aspects of thrillers, compelling characters and suspense were cited most often. Regarding important elements, plot, setting, props/costume, and special effects were seen as most crucial. The majority felt the story should unfold quickly. For openings, flashbacks were preferred over chase scenes or revealing much of the plot. Overall, characters, suspense, and revealing little of the mystery in openings seem to be high priorities for thriller audiences based on this analysis.
Questionnaire By H & R
The document is a 10 question questionnaire that asks respondents about their age, gender, favorite film and music genres, opinions on zombies, mad scientists, zombie costumes, and whether they would enjoy a music video featuring zombies being experimented on by mad scientists. Respondents are asked to circle answers or write brief responses to open-ended questions.

It then notes the ethnic diversity in Brazil, which includes indigenous people, white Europeans, blacks, and mixed races. The document questions why images of Jesus Christ are often depicted as white despite likely being Middle Eastern. It suggests this was a form of "marketing" to attract more converts to Christianity. The document also discusses subtle and everyday forms of racism, like jokes and catchphrases that stereotype certain groups. It notes that those who suffer from racism may experience lasting suffering and isolation. Overall, the document aims to encourage ending ignorance and prejudice between races.
Horror trailer questionnaire.
This document asks respondents questions about their preferences for different types of horror films and elements of horror films and trailers. It asks if they like horror films, what they don't like about them if they don't, their favorite and least favorite horror films, and what makes an effective horror trailer with options to select from like suspense, tension, quick pace, and characters.
Scottpilgrimanalysis
This film blends genres and references various media through its postmodern style. It combines elements of video games, comics, and other media in a bricolage format. The main character Scott Pilgrim must defeat Ramona's seven evil exes, similar to battling opponents in a video game. Theories of Baudrillard and Foucault can be applied to discuss how the film blends reality and simulation and represents courtship. While targeting general audiences, its many references may be obscure to some. The film explores nostalgic technology and media through its portrayal of past genres and fighting games.
Niche vs mass
Horror films appeal to niche audiences who have unique interests in specific subgenres of horror. Niche audiences are smaller and more passionate about certain subgenres like fanaticism films involving torture scenes or home invasion films that feel realistic. These niche audiences enjoy horror films that stay true to these subgenres and are excited to see creative interpretations of demons, hell, and other supernatural elements. Effective student trailers match the music, titles, and visuals to create an atmosphere that appeals to niche horror audiences.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
