Questionnaire

We went out and asked people a number of questions to try and find out certain information before making any solid decisions about our own film.
We asked 10 people in total (5 males and 5 females) which their favourite genre of horror film was, with half of them preferring psychological films, 3 of them zombie and 2 slasher, the majority of them seemed to agree that the best part f films was the suspense and climax leading up to the events - especially when in a relatable location - and the beginning/conversations were the worst when nothing was happening.


From looking at the results of our questionnaire we plan to have as little unneeded conversation as possible, creating as much suspense with our ideas.
