Questionairre Analysis.

 These are a selection of the questionairres we got sent out. these were the most common answers seen on our questionairres. The questions answered above suggest that horror films are not scary unless they can make an audience jump out of their seat. This suggests tension is a key part of the persons ideal horror. They suggest this can be achieved through the music. They suggest a costume would be the best thing to use for the iconography of a horror and also believe seeing this costumed killer thorugh bright lighting would be shocking. They believe this would be unnusual as it not normally seen, so this is something new a horror could achieve.

 They believe the 'vunerable girl' aspect of a horror has been done too many times and wouldnt approve this idea for another horror. They also believe keeping the killer a secret all throughout would be a good idea to add mystery to the horror. For nearly every questionairre filled in, the answer to 'Would you like to see the plot of the film in the trailer?' the answer was a firm no; as seen clearly in this questionairre.

 This next person has the females view towards horrors. They, again, do not find horrors real as there is no element of realism. This is something that would have to be achieved through my trailer. They would also prefer the slasher genre. They, too believe that tense music is important in a trailer as it signals something is about to happen. Music would be a key part of any trailer. They feel that a mask would be a good iconography to use as it, again, creates the element of mystery as to who is behind it. They believe the lighting should be dark and then light to suggest a sudden bright light would signal an attack or something happening, this would be accompanied by dramatic music.

For the second part of the questionairre, they believe it is better when everyone is in danger rather than just one vunerable girl. It creates a more tense atmosphere as no-one is safe. They wouldnt mind what gendre the killer is and believe a forrest setting would be a spooky one to have as horror trailer setting. they would watch a film due to what other people say, so due to this I would do the two-step theory and include reviews in my trailers and how many stars the film got on my poster and magazine cover. They also believe the trailer should only be a teaser.

 This person, is also female and in the teenage bracket. They believe that horrors have lost their scare because they think they are too predictable. This suggests a shocking twist is needed to make a horror interesting. They prefer spoofs and believe that music is what makes a horror scary as it can make any situation scary. They too believe that a costume would be good iconography for a villain as it is memorable, and would like to see this costumed person through dark lighting to make it seem like a horror.

Finally, they believe that the 'vunerable girl' has been done to much and would prefer not to see this again. They would prefer a female killer as it is not seen as much as males and believes the woods would make a suitable setting. Lionsgate is associated with horrors so I could include there logo within my trailer for a pre-determined audience. Trailers intice this person and they would only want a teaser for the trailer as too not give away too much plot. They believe a horror poster should be scary like the trailer to fit with it and due to this, a trailer should only be short in length of 1 and a half minutes.
