Audience Research

For Audience Research, I created a Questionnaire and asked thirty students in my sixth form to compelete it. Having recieved twenty five questionnaires back, here are the results:

1) When Looking For A Horror Film, Do you Prefere a Suspenceful Thriller or a Traditional 'Slasher'?

Suspence = 16 People
Slasher = 9 People

2) Do you think it is more important for a Horror Film to have good effects, or good acting?

Effects = 11 People
Acting = 14 People

3) Do you prefere a horror film to be of a realistic nature, like a psychotic killer, or of a supernatural nature like a Ghost or Monster

Realistic = 19 People
Supernatural = 6 People

4) In terms of a Thriller Trailer, Do you think it is best for it to give away much of the plot, or to keep the film hidden and build suspence?

Hidden = 21 People
Plot Unfolding Trailer = 4 People

5) How long do you sugest a Thriller Trailer Should be?

Under One Minute = 4 People
Between One Minute and Two = 12 People
Over Two Minute = 9 People

6) Where would you expect a Thriller Trailer to be shown?

Cinema = 5 People
Television = 6 People
Before Other Horror/Thriller Films = 14 People
