Survey results:

Currently writing about my results, I have had 26 answers which is great, in terms of the information that I would like to find out so far this is enough people.

80% of people who took part were 14- 18 and mainly the rest was 18-25 which is very useful to me because my target audience is within these age groups. I had an answer from a 31-40 year old, despite them not being so much in my target audience as well as the other age groups that responded it will be interesting and useful to see what results they had.
As expected, more females took part in my survey, but this is not a problem because I also had a fair amount of responses from males as well making my survey fair.
I asked where people would normally expect a horror/ action film to take place because for my film I wasn't sure whether to make it very stereotypical or challenge stereotypes. But from my research I feel that taking the more stereotypical route to my film will help in making it more recognisable as well as maybe something the younger generation are able to relate to.
From these results it wasn't too clear what path to go down. There was a number of different results which you can see from the graph that I put together, But the most popular results I had was the woods or an abandoned house. Because of this I wanted my storyline to go down the route of including a setting such as one of these. But because I was just producing the opening I wanted it to be a familiar setting, something realistic and then be able to devolp the story into one of these chosen settings which I think would work really well, for example where the girl will be taken to and held.

I asked this question because I wanted to know what feelings I could project to the audience given from my films actions. As expected fear and worried emotions were the most popular, I feel this is because the younger audience want something exciting to happen which is great as I feel that my film will project these emotions well.

I asked this question because I felt that this was an important way of identifying the audience and who is appealing to watch my film. Again, I had a mixture of results, I believe this is because the people who filled out the survey didn't have that much knowledge on these different answers to chose from as I could only briefly fill them in. 
As a result of this my results came back as a mixture, also they could have different interests but the majority of the results had been of an individual.


Great response from this question, as 18 of the results were horror followed by 8 being action. This is a postive outcome for me as it means that my film is aimed at the correct target audience and it is good to know that they are most likely to come and see the genre of my film.

For these results it didn't work as well as I had hoped, this is because I had received some answers which was immature such as '#BANTA' and 'no sorry baby'. I also had results of names of actors which are not directors so overall I do not think this question was as affected as I had hoped for. 

Again, great results which are just what I wanted, my film opening is all about tension building and wanting to know what happens next, as for the 'other' responce, it had said that they wanted something exciting to happen which I feel links in with the first two options anyway, so I am planning on keeping my idea of my film opening.





































Lastly, I chose to ask this question because in terms of making a film may all be good, but you need to understand how people are attracted to watch the film in the first place. My main answers was an interesting storyline, which again is a great result as I feel my film will offer this in the future.
