Questionnaire continued- Audience preferences

Here we decided to go into detail as to the types of horror films that our audiences like to watch.


Our teaser trailer we plan to be a mix between a religious aspect and horror. shown in the results a large percentage say that they would indeed prefer to watch a horror film mixed with another genre. This good news for us as we to wish to combine our teaser trailer genre. I think people prefer this because it is not constantly tense and waiting for something to happen, but dramatic scenes seem more intense but again the audience are allowed to breathe through some of the film.



I am glad that the majority said that they find hand held footage frightening. I believe this will gives us an edge as we will be doing some of our camera footage as hand held. I think people find this so frightening because of the realistic edge and so people find this more relatable to themselves, putting them into the film.


Here I found a slight issue as we plan to do a cult theme but most people do not find this scary, however I believe that if we can create a dramatic, tense and scary piece of the teaser trailer as
scary we can then make a successful horror teaser trailer.
We then asked if people enjoy contemporary trailers and again this was positive where the majority said yes, with the story line and the modern day setting of our own teaser trailer I think ours should be fairly successful.




This was a clear choice in the what people want. The main attraction of a horror film is that you become scared, I feel that people find things based on true events more scary and so therefore wish to watch them more, than other more fanciful films.


It suprised me that people wanted a stereo typical character, where as I thought that someone new and unpredictable would have an audience more intrigued and amused as the character would be new to them.
