Audience Research
Question's asked in audience research video:
1)What do you think is the best way to open a film?
2)Do watch horror films? why?
3)What is your favourite horror movie? what makes it your favourite?
4)How do you think a horror should open?
5)What is that makes you scared in a horror film?
The majority of the participants found that the best way to open a film is by a powerful scene that makes the viewer want to carry on watching. A big shock that takes the audience buy suprise was a common response. With this taken into consideration it has influenced my group to cut straight to the chase in my opening sequence rather than run into the 2 minute film with boring scenes.
To the people that answered no to watching horror films the group focused on their reasons why. A response was that it doesnt appeal to them. Together as a group we believe that we have come up with a good enough script and storyboard to reach a wide audience.
When participants were asked "what is your favourite horror film" the majority answered with 'Paranormal activity'. This is a great piece of information because it allows us to watch over clips and scenes from the great movie and analyse what made it so entertaining. The long tense build ups combined with jumpy, unpredictable story lines are what we believe made the sequels a huge success.
Below is some pictures and a video scene froom the very famous film paranormal activity:
