We created a questionnaire to find out peoples views about horror movies. This gave us an insight in what types of horror films people are interested in and how horror movies are scary to our target audience. We asked a range of people from ages 15-17 as that is our target audience, and asked both genders so are results are accurate.
1. Which is your favourite type of sub genre?
2. What's your favourite horror movie?
Zombie Land, Insidious 2, Ouija, Saw, Paranormal Activity, Conjuring, World War Z, The Purge
3. Why is a horror movie scary to you?
4. Do you like supernatural movies?
5. How would you recommend a horror film to a friend?
From our questionnaire we found out that the most popular sub genre is supernatural. We found that there was no pattern to what everyones favourite horror film was, causing no correlation. From our questionnaire we also found that the reason why a horror film is most scary to people is the suspense and the jumpy parts. We also found out that more people liked supernatural movies than they hated them. From this questionnaire we are going to take in consideration creating a supernatural opening scene as it is most popular. We are also going to make sure that we focus on the suspense and the jumpy parts the most when planning and filming because thats what people mostly get scared from. We are going to take inspiration from all the films that people said where their favourite horror films.
