Questionnaire Analysis


These results show that the majority of people we asked were between the ages of 16-20; also it shows the most of the people we asked were male. We decided to set our age certificate to 15, so the questionnaire results are still helpful to us as only 5% of the people we asked were under 15.

When deciding our location the questionnaire results helped us massively, as we were unsure on where the film would be located. With 40% of the people saying to use a house, we decided to use that. Also we agreed with 20% of the people as we chose to film some of our shots outside near a park.

The questions on the Antagonist also helped us a lot. Our group was unsure whether to make the antagonist visible or non-visible. The results of the question swayed us in favour of visible, with 65% of people saying so. Also the results of the question on antagonist characteristics helped us show what the character will be like in the trailer. In the trailer the antagonist is seen to be creepy, mentally unstable and intimidating.

When asked what their favourite horror sub-genre was the majority of people said thriller, so we decided to make our film a Thriller. Before we recorded this questionnaire, we were unsure whether to do a thriller or a psychological horror.

When we asked what people's favourite film was the most popular answer was Taken. Taken's genre is a thriller, which is going to be the genre of our film, so with it being people's favourite film it shows the thriller genre is fairly popular.

The question that asked what you expect to see in a horror film helped us a lot. The main answers were Murders, suspense and jump scares. In our trailer we will try to use all of these things throughout. We will try to create suspense by using creepy music; the creepy music will also link with jump scares. In the trailer the main antagonist is a serial killer so there will definitely be murder shown in our trailer.

So overall the questionnaire results were very helpful and they helped us decide many things that we were unsure about beforehand. The questionnaire helped decide the characters, the genre, the location and what happens in the film. So, carrying out this questionnaire proved to be very worthwhile.

Sound research


This news broadcast ending is what we plan to use in the film, as part of a TV report we have made in the background for the trailer, this clip is from YouTube and was made royalty free which makes it perfect for us to use as we won't be breaching copyright rules, we are going to use it to show a news report on the TV our victim/protagonist will be watching, this is good because we now have some closing titles for when the news story ends and this provides us with a bit more realism to our news broadcast, the sound provided in this clip also appears realistic and it really won't be used for long so the sound in this clip will only really be heard in the background. It also helps lead onto the next clip we plan to use.

This is another sound we plan to use on the TV, We are going to use this because at the end of the news report we are planning to have the TV lose its signal and provide the start to the trailer and in the film this would be were the antagonist starts targeting her.



This is a taste of the kind of music we want to use in our trailer it has been produced royalty free which means we can use it in our trailer, this music is tense and helps build suspense in the trailer, it also matches the idea of being followed and the suspense we want in our trailer.

Title Billing

We have created a billing card to go on the end of our trailer to add to the realism and make it look like a genuine film trailer. We used the layout from the film Seven's billing card to help us design ours and make it look like the real thing.
