Review Questionnaire Analysis

Question 1.



From the data I have collected you can clearly see that the majority of people who filled in our questionnaire were within our target audience, who are aged between 15-20. This means that our questionnaire results will be based on what our target audience thinks, meaning that we will get a good set of data to base our evaluation on.

Question 2.

We asked this question so that we would discover whether or not we had made a successful horror clip, as if people thought that our genre was comedy then we clearly had made a big mistake with our opening scene, but according to our results the majority of people we asked thought that our chosen genre was horror, with thriller as the second highest choice while comedy and action received no votes, therefore we have made a successful clip.

Question 3.

We had decided that we wanted our clip to be between the 15 and 18 age limit, so we asked this question to see if we had managed to achieve that target. The majority of people chose 15 as the age rating, with the rest of the people asked choosing 18, therefore we have successfully created an opening that has enough violence/gore to be included within our target age ranges, which are directly linked to our target audience.

Question 4.

We chose to ask this question so that we could make sure that our audience could clearly see the name of the film, if we had continued to make a film out of this opening scene and the audience couldn't see the title then they wouldn't know what it was called and if they had enjoyed the film then they wouldn't be able to tell their friends about it, which would lead to a loss in sales in the long run because nobody would know about it, therefore if we make sure it is visible everyone will know what it is called.

From our results you can see that everyone who filled in our questionnaire could clearly see the title, which meant that we had successfully edited it into our scene.

Question 5.

We asked this question because we felt it was important to know if our target audience thought it worked well as an opening scene. The majority of people we asked thought that it was a good opening scene, and the second highest result was the 'needs some improvement' option. This means that our opening scene was a fairly successful one.

Question 6.

This question relates to our first audience questionnaire, we asked what our audience's favourite elements of a horror film were. We have asked this question so that we can see if we successfully managed to achieve incorporating those elements into our scene. Our results from the last questionnaire showed that our audience expected to feel scared after watching a horror film, and our results from this questionnaire match those as most people said they felt scared after watching this clip. Therefore indicating that we have created a successful opening scene.



Question 7.

We asked this question because we wanted to find out whether our character was effectively created or whether we should have changed any particular aspect of her. The majority of the people that we asked said that all three of the aspects of our character were effective, and no people said that our character was completely ineffective, meaning that we have created a successful character for our opening scene.

Question 8.

We discovered that most successful horror films create suspense and eerie feelings, so we decided to attempt to do the same thing. This question was asked so that we could find out whether we had managed it or not, and our results so that a large majority of people felt that we had successfully created that kind of atmosphere.

Question 9.

We asked this question because we wanted to know if our audience actually liked the way we edited our film, or if they would have preferred it to be presented in a different way. According to our results the majority of people who filled in our questionnaire liked the way we had edited our scene, therefore meaning that we have created a decent opening scene that most of our target audience would enjoy watching.

Question 10.



The style of music that we put with our video clips included the tune that is linked with the children's nursery rhyme, 'if you go down to the woods today', we thought this was a good link to include because a lot of people have heard of this rhyme and therefore can relate to it better. Also it links well with our only spoken line within the whole of our scene, therefore tying it together nicely. We wanted to know if our audience agreed with us that this was a good choice of soundtrack, and from our results we can see that the large majority of them did agree with us, therefore we have decided that this was a very successful music track to use.

Question 11.

This was an open-ended question that we asked so we could take into accound not only if people would want to continue watching the film, but also why this was.

The results of this question were:

Yes - 17

Reasons why...

• Curious to know what happens
• Looks like a good story line
• There are questions to be answered

No - 3

Reasons why...

• Too scary
• Don't like that kind of film

These results show that the people who said no were part of the minority of our target audience who don't enjoy horror films or are too easily scared, therefore this shows that the people who actually enjoy this genre of film thought this looked like it was going to be a good film, and therefore would enjoy continuing to watch the rest of it if it was created.
