The document discusses a questionnaire the author created to learn about their target audience's preferences for a horror film trailer. They asked about favorite horror subgenres, most scary villain type, and most effective setting. The questionnaire was posted on social media where their target audience is found. Results showed psychological/thriller and slasher subgenres as most popular, with a mysterious dark villain and large Victorian house as the preferred setting. This information allows the author to make choices that will appeal to their target audience.

QUESTIONNAIRE AND RESULTS
I created a questionnaire on surverymonkey.com, where I could design my own questions and send the link out on social networking sites. I decided to ask my target audience about their favourite horror sub genre so I would know what is the most popular within my target audience. I also asked about which type of villain is the most scary, meaning I could find out how we could create our villain for it to be successful. Additionally I asked which setting would be most effective, in order to chose where to film our trailer out of the ideas we already had. The survey is important to to because I can find out from the target audience what they would like the best, therefore allowing me to make choices to make it a success for the audience.
I posted the survey on my social networking sites in order to get results. This is an ideal way of getting the results because my target audience is my own age group and people who are interested in film and horror film, and people I am linked with on my social networks are the people more likely to fit the criteria of my target audience, therefore giving me a result that will depict what I should make for the audience.
The results of the survey showed that the audience's favourite horror sub genre was physiological or thriller horrors which the majority liked, however the second most popular was Slasher, without much different between them. This gives us a choice of these genres to pick from, as well as the option of a hybrid genre of psychological slasher, which may become the audiences favourite genre. The second question showed that the audience thought that the most scary type of villain would be a mysterious and dark villain, which is similar to a lot of other horror films which allows us to follow some other horror film's conventions to create an effective character. The third question's results showed the audience though the large Victorian house would be the most effective setting for a horror trailer out of the options I made. I chose settings that would be achievable to film in without extensive travel and where it would be easy to get permission to film. The Victorian house would be effective because most horror films that are set in a house use a large one, and this is the most effective setting for our audience.
