Audience Research - Vox Pops

 This is my group's(Me, Demi & Charlie) vox pops, which shows what our potential audience thought about horror films, what they expect to see in horror films and cliffhangers. As you can see their are a mixture of views on horror films. We asked different questions to do with horror films which were "Do you like horror films? and if so why?" , "What do you most expect when watching a horror film?" and "Do you a cliffhanger at the end of a film? if so why?" These three questions are all quite different and all relate to horror films and helps the audience not repeat themselves. All the answers we got back from the participants helped us decide the typical horror film and what they expect to see in them which makes them more viewable. Furthermore we got different views from different types of people meaning people who don't really like horror films to people who find them more interesting, but they all each their on own opinion on the type of film, which allowed us to understand what we need to put in our opening sequence. These opinions influenced our opening sequence as it allowed our group to understand what we had to do to effect the audience like this, and it has given us ideas how to make the audience feel uncomfortable and scared when watching it. Their thoughts and opinions count on our work as they are the people watching and judging what they see, and if it's scary they know its a horror film.
