Majority answer: 18-21
Analysis: It would appear through the answers that people in there older teenage watch horror films much more than older audiences,12-17 was the nest popular showing us that there is a younger audiences for this film whereas 21+ was the lowest answer to this question,showing that 21+'s are not interested and therefore we don't have to make the film appealing to them, obviously the majority audience will influence the film certificate,This would give the film a 15 certificate,this also matches the violence in the film.
2.What is your gender?
Majority answer: Female
Analysis: The results show that women are more likely to watch horror films and be interested in the genre,this will affect our film and make us more likely to show more empowered female characters,Characters like the final girl. Obviously there will be no major changes because women like the genre because of what it is they don't want it changed or they wont like it. There is still a big male following of the genre and this leads me to believe that on a bigger scale the results would have shown an approximate 50/50 split. This wouldn't effect the film either way.
3.What is your occupation?
Majority answer: College Student
Analysis: This questions answers clearly shows that people who are teens are interested in the horror genre more than adults,this further backs up the first question;therefore when making the film we would need to use popular genres with teens,zeitgeist genres would be things like sci-fi (Doctor who, Alien.) and Zombie (Walking Dead,World War z.)
4. How often do you watch horror films?
Majority answer: Sometimes
Analysis:Although most of the answers were spread the highest answer was sometimes,this connotes that the audience relatively watch horror films casually and will watch a few a month therefore we wouldn't need to specialize on the film because we wouldn't need to grab the audience. Although this is the case the results were very spread out and no conclusive results could be seen,this wouldn't make a huge difference because people seem to watch more often than not.
5.What is your favorite horror film/series?
Majority answer:American Horror Story
Analysis: This result showed the popular modern TV show American Horror Story,this connotes that audiences like to stay with the times and follow trends,therefore our film should follow suit and try to be as with the Zietgiest as possible.
6. What form of media do you use to watch horror?
Majority answer: Online
Analysis: It would appear this question shows that most audiences are attracted to watching there media online rather than going somewhere,this is very diverse because obviously people can watching things online on many devices,therefore we would need to make the advertisement as extensive as possible especially online where the intended audience will see them.
7.What do you most like to see in horror media?
Majority answer: Psychological
Analysis: Although Psychological is the most popular genre there is a general liking to everything,it seems to be that people like horror with aspects of all the horror genres,therefore when we are making our own horror film we will try to include aspects of all horror genres so we can appeal to the biggest audience possible. It would appear no one is interested in Ghost or Supernatural films so therefore we will not include those aspects in our own film
8.What are you most influenced by in horror media?
Majority answer: Directors
Analysis: The questionnaire results show that people are interested in the works of certain directors. For instance John Carpenter Halloween therefore we should try and take inspiration from popular mainstream directors so that the audience notice our interest in the horror genre and its directors. Closely following directors is the marketing so it would be a good idea to match something like The Women in Black or Crimson Peak that were very heavily marketed.
9.How likely would you pay to see a film about a group of teenagers trying to survive a zombie apocalypse featuring slasher like characters?
Majority answer: Likely
Analysis: although this is the most popular answer the "unlikely" and "very unlikely" outweigh the likely answers therefore we will focus on the aspects of the film we know audiences do like rather than focus on aspects they don't therefore Maximizing our audience.
10.What do you think a zombie horror should incorporate?
Majority answer: Jump Scares
Analysis: This was an easy to predict response because it is extremely expected of the zombie horror sub genre to include lots of jump scares although this would be acting Conventional and wouldn't be too innovative it is effective. Other popular answers that were second most popular are "Gore","Plot","Good Looking Zombies" and "Unhappy Endings" People seem to be very split when they have there preference of film this is supportive of the earlier questions saying the like there horrors to be mixed and include other aspects of other horror sub genres.
