Horror Questionnaire results

Horror Questionnaire results

From the questionnaire me and my group conducted, we received feedback on people's preferences on the horror genre. We found that the majority of people liked the mystery in horror films; finding out who the killer is. Suspense was also something that most viewers enjoyed, which we were glad to find out as we had some ideas on revealing the killer at the end. This structuralist film theory would help people identify that it is a horror trailer. However there were some factors which affected my groups creative decisions. When we asked people what component in horror films scared them the most, a very small percentage said darkness. This affected our creative ideas as we were going to film in a very dark outside atmosphere, as the dark tends to play tricks on people. Initially we thought the darkness would cause fear and tension in a person as their ability to see is restricted, and people are very afraid of the 'unknown'- according to our findings. On the other hand we were pleased that our idea to add realism to the trailer was voted as what most people liked to have within a horror storyline.
