we created a questionnaire to hand out, so that we could get an idea of what our target audience you most prefer in our film. These were our questions:
Q1. Do you like horror?
Q2. What type of horror films do you like? E.g. psychological thriller (paranormal activity)
Q3. Do you prefer more complicated plot lines or simple ones?
Q4. Do you prefer the character to be killed at the end, or escape?
Q5. Do you prefer main stream films or more experimental films?
Q6. Do you prefer horror films to be more realistic of more fantasy based?
Q7. What sort of setting do you prefer? Urban or rural?
Q8. Do you like having background music over the film?
Q9. Would you like the main character to be male or female?
Q10. Would you like the character to be courageous or sensitive?
Q11. Favorite horror film? Why?
we asked these questions to see what it most popular, within the horror genre and why, so that we could take these conventions and either use them in our film or oppose them.
Throughout my research and analysis of horror films, i have found that the main generic conventions of a horror film are:
- themes of death, the supernatural or mental illness
- many horror films contain a central villain
- often contain some form of violence
- can create fear through use of suspense
- can often incorporate aspects from other genres i.e. thrillers, science fiction and fantasy
