Research: Results from my horror survey

I had created a survey and asked different people to complete my survey. I have gathered all my results and have found many different things about the audiences expectations and perceptions on a horror film. I have also added some other personal questions within my survey to find out what people like and dislike.

1. Here this picture shows that more males than male completed my questionnaire. This may suggest that females like horror films more than males.

2. I feel that my second question from my online survey was very successful as my target audience for my horror film was aged 60 and over, which means that these are the main age groups that would watch horror movies.  This may be because in the cinema normally horror films are rated with a certificate rating of 15. 

3. Here is my third question i asked on my online survey. This clearly states that everyone that completed my survey likes these genre of films and would watch them and are defiantly familiar with this horror genre.

4. Question 4 shows that the majority of people who answered my survey said that they like both of the genres of horror that i gave a choice from. Here is a extra pie chart. 

This pie chart is for question 4 on my online survey. It shows that 75.00% of the people that i asked to complete my survey said that they like both horror genres, Teen horror and classical horror. It also shows that none selected the option 'other'.

5. On question five i gave people a choice of writing what their favourite horror film is and here were the results. As you can see clearly that two people answered with 'Sinister', this must of been a big hit with the age 16 group. 

6. I created this question because i wanted to see what i could add to future media tasks, such as the main task. As you can see 66.7% of people preferred scary/jumpy films rather than the other options that i gave them.

7. Here i have found out what scares people the most when they are watching horror films. Through analysing these results i can see that when horror films are based on a true story about someone or something, then  it scares the audience more. This may be because its more believable and can relate to the audience. 

8. Here i wanted to see what not to add into my future media horror movie projects by asking the audience what, in their opinion made a bad horror film. I have gathered lots of results, so i can use this as a source to look back on in further projects. Different people had different opinions but the one that stood out from me was too many deaths. I felt the same when reading this because i have watched a couple of films where there are too many deaths which get boring.

9. I can clearly see that most people like to watch horror film with their friends. This may be because of a social thing with friends. It is common for teenagers of this age group such as 16 to watch horror films with friends.

10. Here the people that filled our my online survey said that these list was in their opinion the worst horror films. They have not said why but most of them are the same type of horror genre such as paranormal films about ghosts and old films such as Dracula. This could suggest that audience views change after watching each horror film.
