Evaluation Q5

During research and planning we we carried out some interviews where we asked what they liked and disliked about horror films, and what the thought about our ideas for our film. This research helped us to find out what people were looking for in horror films and it told us that there was a gap in the market for our film.

These are the questions that we asked:
What is your favourite film genre? Why?
What is your favourite horror film and why?
What is your least favourite horror film and why?
Where do you think a good place for a horror film to be set is? Why?
Where dont you think is a good place for a horror to be set? Why
Do you think a pub cellar is a good place to set a horror and why?

We made all the questions in our interview open questions because we were looking for their opinions. The results we got from the interviews helpt us to find out what our audience were looking for, and therefore know what would attract them to our film and how to address them.

We used enigma in our film to intrique the audience, we also tried to confuse them a bit so that they didnt think our film was predictable and get bored of it.

We would promote our film on tv adverts and on youtube and social networking sites because they are widely used by members of our target audience.
                          

INTERVIEW

We carried out an interview of a member of our target audience and what she thought about our genre and film ideas...

Gender: Female.

Age: 22.

Occupation: Work in a pub.

What is your favorite film genre? & Why?

Horror, because I like the suspense and the adrenaline you receive from watching them.

What's your favorite Horror film? & Why?

Insidious. It's my favorite because it seems like it could happen to anyone as it's set in a house with a

normal seeming family until the action starts.

What's your least favorite Horror film? & Why?

Paronormal Activity. It's my least favorite because it never show's you what's actually doing the haunting which make it seem less real. It also starts weird as it's not the beginning of the story but the 3rd film is.

Where do you think a good place for a Horror to be set is? & Why?

In a house or somewhere natural, as it make's you think it could happen to anyone which is part of the bit why it is a Horror.

Where do you think a not so good place for a Horror to be set is? & Why?

A woods, it can get boring just running through the woods, unless it's set in the woods because of the things which happen. Such as in "Dog Soldiers".

Do you think a pub cellar would be a good place to set a Horror? & Why?

Yes i do, as most people go to a pub so it makes them think it could happen to them LIKE ME! or to someone who they know.
