Genre research: public survey

For research into our chosen Genre, we did a survey for the public on the genre of psychological-horror films and here were our results...

We quickly discovered that the majority of our target audience of teenagers and adults were the ones interested in the survey.

despite the favourite genre being comedy, we know that horrors were still favoured by a group of our target audience.

the conventions of a horror which was mostly expected was the ones which we were planning to include in our opening sequence, and let us know which not to include, alternatively, we could consider including a less expected convention to make our opening sequence different to all the others. 

most of our target audience said that they enjoyed the idea of a psychological-horror

our film idea is massively suspenseful, so the results here reassure us that our film would appeal to our audience. 

this result encourages us to try something new and steer away from the typical codes and conventions of horror films so that our audience is shocked and surprised at our ending.
