Using this pie chart we knew what age range of people are more likely to watch our film. Therefore because the age range was mostly teenage years we have used young actors. This could also allow us to use more slang words and relate to the age group.
What type of horror genre should we use for our title sequence?
Slasher |||
Supernatural ||||||
Zombie |
Slasher |||
Supernatural ||||||
Zombie |
Using this information we could see that our idea for a supernatural would be a success because many of the people pick the genre. Zombie was the least popular which is no surprising as they are normally very hard to make and to create a scary atmosphere. The only successful zombie movie in the past few years has been "World War Z". Slashers are normally popular but mostly with men whereas we asked more girls in survey.
What horror aspect do you find the most scary?

We looked over this information and saw that many people would prefer jump scares. We took this in to account when making the opening title sequence but we thought that jump scares would be mainly in the film. Therefore we used a climax and a big scare at the end to hook in the viewer. This allowed up to build up the tension and show the titles of the people that helped make the film.
Which do you prefer Realistic or Supernatural horror? Why?
Realistic ||||
Supernatural ||||||

We saw from this that the people who were asked the questions prefer horror films that are not real. This may people it keeps them more secure and they prefer to use imagination to show horror. Based on this our idea would work as we used possession which is supernatural.
Do you like it when the villain is unseen or obscured to the viewer?
Unseen ||||||
Obscured ||||
Unseen ||||||
Obscured ||||
We asked them if they would prefer to see the villain in the horror movie. Most people said it would be better not to see the villain. When filming the viewer will be able to see the villain but no very well. We used a filming technique in the dark using torches to film. We did not shine them on the possessed girl directly so that she would not be given away completely to the viewer. We used shadows and black outs to suggest people's deaths without seeing it. Finally at the end we use a strobe light effect which shows her but only fast and not a long time to inspect what she looks like.
What is you favourite horror creature?

We found out that most people prefer a possessed person rather than a creature like a zombie or vampire. This helped our filming as we have picked the possessed patient rather than a typically creature. I think this is because with Halloween these creatures are used as children's costumes whereas possession is more grown up and creates a better scary effect.
Do you like horror that is effected globally or just in a small area?
Globally |||
Small area |||||||
Globally |||
Small area |||||||
We can see that from this question most people prefer horror that happens in a small area. I think this is because you can get to know some charters and the area rather than many places effect because then you are not able to get attached with the film. This is good because for our film we were going to use a small town.
What music do you like in horror films?
Tense |||||
Non-tense
Spooky |||

Most people prefer tense music in a horror film. This is because it can build up the scene and then lead to a big horror stock like a killing at the end of the music. Spooky music is also liked because it can scare people without any horror happening on the screen. Non-Tense music is not liked as it would not suit the scenes or create a horror atmosphere.
Why this questions were chosen?
We wanted this question answered, because we are therefore able to get a clear indication on what genre of horror is applicable to our target audience. Hence we interviewed 15 year olds. Because we as Crimson Webb Productions find interviewing and getting ideas from the audience as incredibly important as we listen to what the audience want to get the best idea marketing and advertising the title sequence that we our producing.
