Audience Research

We made a survey to get an idea of what the potential audience would want to see in their next film. Here it is: 



Paige did the honours of spreading the survey and getting 'form-fillers by advertsing it on facebook and literally asking friends/people to spend a few minuites filling the survey. Thank you :) 
We looked at the survey results and decided what should be taken note of and what should should be used to decide the features of our film. Most of the public said they would preferred  a horror film in an urban type of setting so we  thought of our target audience and believed that would be a powerful/persuasive location so we decided to use these results and aim to keep the film in an estate/alley/skate park location. 
In the responses most said don't like their horror films to be too gory we liked this result as Paige agreed with this result it would save us effort and time, also it allows us to be more creative when representing victims of our antagonist, Martin liked this as it would keep the plot and characters mysterious as he originally wanted. About 30% of the survey people didn't want the beginning of the ideal horror film to be too scary so we decided that 'Tie' wouldn't do anything to awfully and we agreed the audience will not know if the victim survived from his attack. 
Female Antagonist
The voting public also mentioned they preferred a female antagonist than a male one though we liked the ideas we had already thought of providing we had a male antagonist so we were not going to prioritise that result in our plans for sequence and change our plans. Most people said they didn't like to know who the killer was but a close vote said the audience wouldn't mind so we decided tat the audience would see the antagonist but never clearly showing his identity then when he is committing the crime his identity is hidden by his hood. The questions regarding the ending and the religious aspects as they didn't have to be noted of neither as they didn't have to a direct relevance to our film but it was good to ask just in case.
