In conclusion from my primary research I learnt that 2 people were aged from 15-17, 7 people were aged from 18-20 and 1 person was aged from 27+. My target audience is from the ages of 13-19. From my primary research I found out that I was fortunate enough to have the majority of people aged from 18-20, even though this doesn't include every age from my primary research. It still includes most of them. This means that the majority of people questioned will fit into my target audience, which means that they will go out to watch my horror film, meaning that revenue should be produced. The majority of people were aged from 18-20.
Furthermore I also found out that half of the people questioned were male with the population for males being 5 and the other half were females with the population for the females also being 5. This shows an equal balance in gender population so making the film targeted and specific for both male and female genders would be a good idea.
Moreover I found out that 1 person found their favourite film to be Rosemary's Baby, 2 people found their favourite film to be The Conjuring, 1 person found their favourite film to be The IT, 1 person found their favourite film to be Alien, 1 person found their favourite film to be Saw, 1 person found their favourite film to be Orphan, 1 person found their favourite film to be The Taking of Deborah Logan, 1 person found their favourite film to be Evil Dead 3 and lastly 1 person found their favourite film to be Scream. The majority wrote that The Conjuring was their favourite film.
In addition to this information 4 people found paranormal to be their favourite sub-genre, 5 people found psychological to be their favourite sub-genre and 4 people found slasher to be their favourite sub-genre. The majority wrote that psychological was their favourite sub-genre.
As well as having this information I found that 2 people saw that a cemetery location made a horror film really scary, 6 found that abandoned building locations made a horror film really scary, 2 found that the middle for the forrest location made a horror film really scary and 1 found that a haunted house locations made a horror film really scary. The majority wrote that abandoned building locations were what made a horror film scary.
Alongside this information 4 people watch horror films through television, 3 people watch horror films through DVD, 5 people watch horror films through cinema, 6 people watch horror films trough online means and 2 people watch horror films through paid subscription e.g. Netflix. The majority of people watch horror films through online means, this can be taken advantage of, as this could show that people regularly use the internet. This can allow for advertising to be able to take place as adverts can be posted on the internet about the horror film for people to see allowing for people to be attracted to the horror film meaning that they will try to watch the film in the means that they can.
4 people found that suspense made a good horror film, 5 people found that jump scares made a good horror film, 1 person found that slasher aspects makes a good horror film, 1 person found that a good narrative made a good horror film, 1 person found that darkness made a good horror film, 1 person found that isolated places made a good horror film, 1 person found that a mysterious villain made a good horror film and 1 person thought that complex characters made a good horror film. The majority found jump scares to be something that made a good horror film, this is something that I could add to my horror film.
Furthermore on the scale of 1-10 4 people wrote they enjoyed horror films at a scale of 4, 1 person wrote they enjoy horror films at a scale of 6, 2 people wrote they enjoy horror films at a scale of 7 and 3 people wrote they enjoy horror films at a scale of 10. The majority wrote they enjoy horror films at a scale of 4. This could mean that not a lot of people will decide to view the horror film. This could mean there will not be a lot of profit made from the horror film.
Moreover in what people dislike about horror films 1 wrote too much blood and gore, 1 wrote stereotypical tactics like jump scares, 1 wrote too much blood and violence, 1 wrote psychological aspects, 1 wrote cheesy storyline/characters, 1 wrote characters doing stupid things, 2 wrote predictability and 1 wrote scary scenes. The majority wrote predictability. This is something I should avoid to put in my horror film.
