Questionnaire Research

We handed our questionnaires out to our class mates to research what would be best for our teaser. We decided to use our class mates because they are of the same primary demographic (teenagers) that we would aim our film towards.

Here are the results:

1) Do you think that background music is necessary for a movie?

Answers: Yes = 8 | No = 3

2) Which sort of music goes well with horror movies?

Answers: Atmospheric music = 5 | Classical music = 3 | Rock music = 3

3) Do you think that blood and gore are required in a horror movie?

Answers: Yes = 5 | No = 6

4) Do you feel that blood and gore are too commonly used in horror movies, 

and thus have become boring?

Answers: Yes = 6 | No = 5

5) Would you be more afraid of a human antagonist or an antagonist that 

resembled an animal?

Answers: Human antagonist = 7 | Animal antagonist = 4

6) Which colour would be most suitable for a horror movie theme?

7) Is a horror movie with more psychologically challenging aspect to it 

more interesting than a horror movie with gore and blood?

8) Which ages do you think watch horror movies?

11) Would a masked villain be more intimidating than one with 'scary' make-up?

Answers: Yes = 8 | No = 3 

12) Do you think horror movies with a small amount of humour can still be 

classed as a horror?
