Graphs showing the answers of the questionnaires

Primary Research

Results of Questionnaire and explanation of Charts

I based my questionnaire on Secondary research that I had found which exposed predominant links between whether you like horror movies and your gender. Hobbies and age. These questions helped me prove the secondary research correct and allowed me to confirm a target audience. I also acted questions about what they expected to be included in an opening to a horror film, such as whose name should be included in the opening credits and what instrument they expected to be playing.

All of this really help me and my partner make decisions about the music, the lighting and the pace of the whole piece.

Here are the charts I have created to show the result of our research:

This Pie chart shows the Gender of the people that took in my survey. It’s important to take in to account this chart when looking at different results as it’s not a far ratio of Male and Females.  The chart is also in percentages not actual numbers.

This Chart represents the number of people who liked or disliked the Horror film genera. This interested me because although I had fewer males who had answered my questionnaire the majority of people still said they liked horror movies which showed how we could still aim our film at girls.

This Graph brakes down these results even further, showing that almost double the amount of people who disliked horror movies, liked them. This chart also shows the equal like and dislike of horror movies within the genders (taking in to account the number of each that I questioned).

This chart shows the ages of people who like/dislike the horror genera as you can see more teenagers (16 and 17 year old) enjoyed horror movies than those that didn't. This proved that teenagers were more interested in the effects that horror movies had on them.

This was an interesting result as many of the participants chose a number of options that’s why there are more responses than the people who took part. While doing our editing this really helped us decide which names we needed to include in our titles.

The Music was the hardest decision that we had to make during our editing. This helped us realize that our target audience obviously expected a form of classical, orchestral music. Narrowing down our decisions.
