Audience research: Survey

 This shows that my target audience by a small proportion like horrors that get straight into the storyline than the others that would first try to build up things such as character development

 Most people prefer to watch ghost, spirit and psychological horrors. From my previous research I understand that this is because of the fact that these two genres are easier to relate to and are therefore scarier.

 The two options here that were selected were the 'equally both' and 'male'. I would say from watching many horrors that I might disagree with the results. This is because of the fact that most spirits/ ghosts will be female. The male presence may come in where there is more possession involved as the devil/ a demon is described to be a male.

 Here my audience had the option to write what scares them in a horror. Though they are all different they are real fears that can be played on or turned into moral panics.

 Most people selected that having the location set in a normal house would be the best location. Again we now know that this is because the home is a place that everyone can relate to and a place where they would typically feel safe.

 Storyline appears to be the most important part of the movie according to my audience. This could be because it keeps the attention of the spectator and allows them to develop their understanding of the story as it plays out in front of them.

 This is where the final girl theory comes into play. My audience has picked up on the fact that women are usually the ones to survive in a horror.

Most people strongly agree with this characteristic of teens in horror films.
