Analysis of Audience Feedback

I ask 10 people for my Audience Feedback. As you can see for my Age graph, the people I asked were all over the age of 15. I generally know I wanted to produce a horror because horror is my favourite genre of film. So everyone I asked was above the age of 15 which is an appropiate age to watch a horror, with legal requirements.

For the gender, I tried to ask a variation of male and female to get a mixed response. The graph shows that I asked 6 females and 4 males. 

I asked the question Do you watch short films? because I am still unsure if i want to produce a short film or a trailer, my partner and I thought that if we got audience feedback for which they preferred, then we woulsd be able to easily make a choice on which on to do. From this graph, most people I asked said that they didn't really watch short films, which shows the popularity of short films.

The next question is about trailers, from the graph you can see that everyone I asked, they all watched trailers. So many people tend to watch trailer, as they are advertised on television and the internet. From this question I think that it shows which we should produce, a trailer, because that is what our target audience want.

This question is similar to the other two questions previously. I think that this question is almost like an overall conclusion, because it is like an 'either or' question. As you can see on the graph, the preferred was a trailer. Only one person preferred short films.

At this stage of research and planning, I already know that I would like to produce a horror but, to make sure my partner and I were making the right decision, I asked people about their favourite genre. Fortunately, the most popular was horror, the it was comedy and Rom-com, I have come to the conclusion that Rom-com was the second most popular because of the amount of females I asked in comparion to males.

 This was an interesting question to ask, seeing as my partner and I knew we wanted to do a horror, I wanted to see what my target audience wanted to see in a horror. I gave my target audience the chance to tick more than one for this one, therefore there would be more variety for my results. Surprisingly people preferred mysterious happenings and now when creating a storyline and storyboard we will have to take into consideration that our audience prefer mysterious happenings. The second and third favourites were Ghosts and the unexpected. I would also like to take into consideration the ghosts and the unexpected because I believe that all three will work together really well.

As my target audience are all above the age of 15 I thought that it wouldn't be necessary to include the certificates PG and U because I was more interested in the the bigger certificate as most horrors are mainly 15 and 18. As you can see the graph most of the people watch 18s which is mostly likely what horrors are. When we produce our trailer, it will mostly be an 18.

I asked this question because before creating this questionnaire I was interested in the th13teen trailer which is an advertisement for a rollercoaster in Alton Towers. I was glad that from my questionnaire people preferred an innocent character. When asking giving the questionnaires to people, people said that an innocent person gives off more tension and its more realistic.

Sound is an important part of a trailer. For this question, I allowed the people to tick more than one box. As you can see by the results, surprisingly people preferred heavy breathing. I actually thought that people would prefer Eerie music. I will take these results into consideration when doing the music. I think that a combination of eerie music screams and heavy breathing would be conventional.
