Analysis of my Questionnaire

Q1) Are you male or female?

As we can see from the pie chart above, the majority of people who answered my questionnaire where female (60%) and was closely followed by the number of males who answered my questionnaire (40%).

Q2) What age category do you fit in?

 From  the pie chart we can see that the majority of people asked where ages 15-17 followed by 18-23.

Q3) What movie genre do you prefer?

 From the bar graph above we can clearly see that the majority of candidates prefer to watch a horror rather than the other genres, which is the result I was hoping for as that is the genre I wish to use when creating my teaser trailer.

Q4) What hybrid/sub-genre of horror do you prefer?

After asking the candidates what sub-genre/hybrid of horror they prefer, slasher horrors where the most popular, followed by a tie between physiological horrors, comedy horrors and teen horrors. 

Q5) What do you expect to see/hear in a horror teaser trailer? 

Analysing the results for question 5 I can seer that everyone expects to see the release date in a horror teaser trailer, and some would also like the best bits, sound effects, eerie, dark music and explanation text or the story line. From these results I will be deciding what my trailer will consist of.

Q6) What characters would you like to be a part of a horror teaser trailer? 

  

As we can see from the pie chart, if I want to create a trailer that my candidates will enjoy I shall have to ensure that I include my evil/villain character and my victims into the trailer.

Q7) What would you prefer to accompany a horror teaser trailer?  

To accompany my teaser trailer I have to create two of the three ancillary tasks stated in the pie chart above, and thanks to the results it looks like I shall be creating the movies poster and website, which is a relieve as those where the two I wanted to do.

Q8) What would you like to see on a movies website? 

 The majority of candidate wish to have the trailer, the cast and photos present on the movies website as well as comments and reviews, a contact us page, merchandise and some videos. Which is all of the possible answers I gave the candidates in my questionnaire so in order to please everyone I might as well create all the pages for my website.

Q9) What would you expect to see on a horror movies poster? 

Looking at the bar graph above I have decided that as every option provided has been picked by at least 10 of the 15 candidates then I am going to try and incorporate all the above into my poster.

Q10) What would you expect to see on the front cover of a magazine featuring a horror movie?

Looking at the graph above I can see that my candidates expect to see the movie title and release date on a magazine cover as well as the casts names. Therefor if i decide to create a magazine cover then I will ensure I incorporate them into the design.

Q11) What time of year would you prefer a horror film to be released in the cinemas?

As we can see all the candidates I have asked on my questionnaire would prefer a horror film to be released in autumn or winter, but the majority said autumn. Which is a good result as that means I could maybe even release my film on Halloween.

Review:

So overall, after analysing my questionnaire results I have come to the decision to create a horror teaser trailer with the sub-genre of a teen/slasher horror as all my actors will be teenagers and the results from this questionnaire show that people would prefer a slasher, so I have incorporated the two. I will also be incorporating the main characters, best bits, release date and sound effects into my horror teaser trailer as again it is what my audience wants.
The characters I shall be using in my trailer will consist of one villain as well as victims, whether or not I incorporate a sarcastic character into the mix I don't know yet.
Accompanying my teaser trailer I have decided to create a movie poster and a movie website for my two ancillary task as it is what my audience wants and it is something different to create from the magazine cover i created last year.
On my movies website I will be creating 7 pages that will consist of my homepage (with the trailer on it) a cast page, a gallery, a video page, a merchandise page, a comments and reviews page and lastly a contact us page.
On my horror movie poster I have decided to incorporate all of the code and conventions I have mentioned in my questionnaire which are; the title, the release date, a catch phrase/quote, the casts names, the creators of the movie, the directors name and one large image occupying the background of the poster.
Lastly I will be putting the release date for my horror movie to be on Halloween as the majority of people would prefer the release in autumn, and what better time than Halloween to create tension and suspense.
