Questionnaire results.

1. Do film trailers influence the films you watch? 


Yes - 19
No - 11

This could give me information that a trailer needs to be good in order for the final film to be successful and built hype around.

2. What is your favourite horror out of the ones below?


Paranormal Activity - 12
IT - 8
Conjuring - 2
Saw - 3
Scary Movie - 5

From this information i can gather than films based around clowns/thriller horrors and paranormal horrors have the biggest popularity in terms of favourites giving my partner and i and incite to which path/sub genre to partake.

3. What makes a good movie trailer out of options below?

Cliffhanger - 19
A lot is given away - 5
Not much is given away - 6

This tells me that overall the audience wish to see a cliffhanger not revealing too much but giving the audience something to build hype and thrive over.

4. Do you prefer for a movie trailer to be slow or fast paced?

Fast - 24
Slow - 6

This answer tells me that people will need action at a quick pace to stop them from being bored and being able to engage in whats happening in the film.

5. Do you enjoy horror films?

Yes - 27
No - 3

This answer tells me that people really enjoy horror saying that hopefully we will have a good impact on our audience due to the enjoyment of horror films

6. What setting do you prefer?

Abandoned building/area - 9
Dark woods - 14
Big, old house - 7

From this i can understand that people want a dark/open location as opposed to enclosed locations/buildings.


7. Do you like realistic horrors?

Yes - 21
No - 9
This is good because it would be difficult to make ours unrealistic as we wouldn't need to use CGI, Also making it more realistic is good as it is believable to the audience. 

Overall this questionnaire is very useful to me as now i can correctly identify a target audience and change/alter parts of our film trailer accordingly, we will try to include as much of this into the trailer to give it a larger chance of success.

Question 2

I decided to complete this question with my friend who I worked on my trailer with, therefore using the same video.
