We asked people a list of questions to do with the genre Horror. In the pie charts above it shows the results from our questionnaire.
For the title of our film, 60% of the people we asked said they liked Read 23:59. One said, “It’s mysterious and intriguing”.
When asked what themes people enjoyed in horror, 40% said horror films based
around a killer. Additionally, the second most popular theme was paranormal 30%. The result of this question was expected because most horror films are based on a serial killer or paranormal activity. This is because the target audiences for horror are thrill seekers. The two popular themes are classic cliché in the genre.
Surprisingly, the result of our questionnaire, showed gore and disturbing was one of the least preferred themes. I didn't expect this because in horror films we usually expect blood and gore.
The result shows 50% of the people we asked didn’t mind which gender the protagonist was. However, 30% said that they preferred having a male protagonist and only 20% said female.
This could be because in most films the male characters are always seen as the hero, due to the stereotype males being aggressive and physically strong.
Despite that, no one disagreed with the idea of having a female, as the main protagonist. 60% said that they like the idea of a female protagonist, whereas 30% said they liked the idea of a male protagonist.
The ideal characteristic people liked for the main protagonist was the female victim -40% and hero- 40%. The least favorable characteristic was the Mr. Know it all- 20%. I expected this because people like to see the protagonist, as humble and someone who they can empathies with.
50% thought the best location for a horror film is inside a house. I also agree with this because I think it makes the film more realistic and believable.
From the results of our questionnaire, I can see what people are looking for in a horror film. We will use the result from this questionnaire and include them in out opening two minutes.
