Questionnaire

As a group we were given the task to gather research back from the audience. We created 15 questions which varied from ‘What gender would you prefer the main character of a horror/thriller to be’ to ‘Do you want there to be a back-story to the original story’. We asked 11 people to fill in the questionnaire and the results are below.

For the following questions I have created pie charts to resemble how many people chose the one answer over the other.

As you can see just over half of the people I asked said yes to being able to see the villain’s face at the beginning.

As you can see, everyone I asked said they think dark lighting sets the mood of a horror/thriller.

As you can see more than ¾ of the 11 people I asked said they would rather have the 2 minute sequence to be psychological.
