Horror Questionnaire

We went through the answers, completed graphs and pie charts to display our results, making it easier to generalise and

understand the information in a clearer form.

Our group has created a questionnaire which focused on sub-genre preferences, iconography and other subjects; for example the viewers worst fear.

We asked people we know to complete the questionnaire and hand it back in their own time, but when going over our results it

was evident that we should have completed the questionnaires in person. So we could clear up confusion about questions and

confirm a 100% return rate.The questionnaire should give us an insight into who our target audience is and what they look for in horror films.

It was evident from our questionnaire that none of the people we asked didn’t watch movies, however more males watched 6 to 10 films on a monthly basis than females. On the other hand 1 female watched 11 to 20 films during the month unlike the 0% of males that did.

After asking 8 people to choose as many reasons why they go to see films at the cinema as they wanted, both males and females mostly said that they go to see the film because of the films trailer. However the males seem to choose to go to the cinema for different reasons than women, as the females said they only go to see a film at the cinema after hearing about it on social networking, word of mouth and through watching the trailer for the movie.
