From looking at the results from my questionnaire, 65% of people that answered said that they enjoy the horror films that have possessed people in it. This would be useful to me because this tells me what the audience wants to see and so I could adapt my idea to fit the needs of the target audience. The other 35% said that they would like to see a killer involved. Therefore to fit my idea i could have a possessed girl that ends up trying to kill everyone.
The setting was set that 50% of the people that answered the questionnaire said that they wanted to see the film ion a woods because it could be free and the space would not have been limited to what was available. 35% of the people said it should be in a hospital.This would not be able to have been done to a great level because the hospital is always full of people and this is not what i would have wanted to do. I would also not have been able to stay in the hospital overnight as there is a limited time that i would have been able to access the hospital, therefore, I would also not have access to the equipment that I would want to if it was to be in a hospital.
Many people said that they would like to see teenagers given the most prevalence in the film because it would be aimed at a teenage and older audience and so people may find it easier to associate the film to their personal lives in their own way. Whereas, if it was middle aged people to be given prevalence through out the film, the younger target audience would find it harder to relate to them in any way.
The answer that received the most votes of 95% was both because they wanted to see equal amounts of participation from both genders. Therefore, I want to balance out the characters and so the target audience is able to see how both character genders are equal and one is not being treated better than the other.
The Only characters that are in a relationship in the film is Beth and Chris. Beth ends up dying and so we will be able to see how Chris who is supposed to be the protective character reacts to this. This would be effective because I want the characters to feel like they can relate to the characters as close as possible.
I would have creepy music as this was said by 75% of the people that answered my questionnaire as they said that it would build tension for the target audience. It was also commented that it would help to create a visual image for the audience in their head before the characters come into view.
Mostly all of the people that answered my questionnaire said that the characters should be wearing casual clothes as if they were just meting up with their friends as they would not know what is going to happen in the film. This would make the target audience feel that it is real life and they would be able to get into the mood that the characters are in when they are in the film and it is on a particular scene.
The shots that I have been suggested to use are mainly close-ups and wide shot. Close-ups to show the expressions on the characters faces when something dramatic happens. Wide shots are suggested to use when you want to show the character the whole setting all in one shot.
The main props that 78% of the people that answered the questionnaire said that the most effective props are belongings that belong to members of the characters that are going to find them. This is because they said that it makes it more real for the characters but also it makes it more realistic for the target audience.
Sarah - 'One of my favorite horror films is 'I spit on your grave' is because it is full of surprises and unexpected things that happen that the audience do not expect. It is not the stereotypical type of horror film but what happens is not suitable for younger audiences.'
