Audience research

The questions we chose for our questionnaire were to help us find out what our target audience would like to see in a horror film. One of the questions we used were , for example " would you expect to see blood in the opening scenes of a horror film?".

The results from the questionnaire showed us that most people would like to see blood somewhere in a horror film, so our idea is to use fake blood on the knife to show that the girl in our film has been stabbed or injured of some kind. We learnt also that a bathroom is a a fairly scary room in the house due to the steam for the shower and the element of water. This is one of the rooms we are going to use in out final film, and so we are happy that we had already planned to use this room before we did our questionnaire.

Our target audience is 15 to 25 and so we asked people within this age , and we were happy with the results we received as they backed up our original ideas.
