The questionnaires which we have made in order to find out who our target audience can be but also what who they are and what they want and need within a horror film. This information was recorded on the question sheets and will be taken in consideration when we are filming our end product. To show you what our questions and answers are I will make for each question a chart, clearly showing what the people have answered.

 This chart clearly tells you that the people who were in our sample of 10 people were more boys, but also it tells that the boys are most audience when talking about a horror films, they like going and watch them also meaning they are interested more in the horror films than the girls. This research is useful to us, as we found out what gender of people like watching horror films which means it can benefit as we can direct our film opening towards the male gender. 

 We asked this question because it can help us decide about our distribution tactics to get most of the public that we have on mind. Asking the people this personal question about what they like reveals the information about how our product can be sold more productively for example in what place or what types of products our film opening can be stored in, in order to have more audience paying for our product.

 This question was addressed to the people sampled, for us to know their tactics of going to watch a horror film. This information unleashes the fact that people hardly go on their own to watch a horror film and also just with their girlfriend or boyfriend; they are most probably to go in groups as the research clearly shows 60%, which have to be suitable for the age restriction. This means that the film should appeal more to groups of people than just singles or partners.

 
 This information is very useful to my group as based on the answers of the question we will create our film opening. We can clearly see that the most wanted film genre is the comedy theme. This suggests that the majority 60% of the people sample would watch a horror film based on comedy. For our film to be successful we have to take into consideration this information and use it. This means that we have to introduce the comedy theme into our horror based opening sequence, to gather more audience. The second wanted theme is the possessed/haunted house; this will also be taken in consideration because it has a 20% answers form the people sampled which will also be sieved in the theme of the opening film as this both put together can attract more people than just one theme wanted or nothing.

 This information is useful to us to see how often people go to see a horror film, if we will be successful with this kind of theme. The research shows that more people go to see a horror film once a month than once a week or six months. This research unleashes the information about how interested are the teenagers in horror films. Thinking about this information, we can have a second thought about doing a horror movie as some people are not quite into watching it very often.

 This information is very useful to my group when thinking about what the movie should include. This question informs us (the filmmakers) about things that the audience are scared about. If we would include this into our film opening we would make it more intense to the audience to watch but also win more viewers for it as people like the feeling of being scared. The element that most of the sampled people we afraid of was the demons with 30%. So if we include some demons in our scene but also some Satanist which is on the second place we can get the feeling the audience have more intense and stronger sense.
   
This information can be significantly important when filming our scene as based on the research more people liked the abandoned town 30% than island or house. If we use this answers within our filming people could be more interested in the opening as there is the places they like a horror film to be set in so therefore they might be interested about what will happen in this certain place, to the characters and what is it to follow. The location of the setting is the most important thing within a scene because that is the first thing that captures the audience’s sight and thoughts. So therefore we will count these answers when we are filming our film opening.

 These responses from this question give us an opinion about the horror audience but also what we can include in the film opening to be catchier for more audiences. For example most of them like the violence entertainment 40% a horror film distributes, so to make the audience attracted to our film opening we could include some violence, however this has to go with the theme of the opening and also with the storyline.
