Q1. What sub-genre of
horror do you prefer?
Highest: Thriller – an exciting plot
Lowest: Slasher – Includes violent murders
Slasher films have become a typical sub
genre for films whereas thriller films create suspense and keep the audience
waiting for something to happen. This is why I think that most people chose
thriller films as they are more exciting to watch and allows the audience to
feel like they are in the story since they are following the plot not knowing
what’s going to happen, whereas I think in slasher films people expect there to
be torture and typical murder stories.
Q2. What makes you scared
the most?
Highest: Sinister Children
Lowest: Animals
I think that typically it would be a
ghost, however people have become
desentizised to it and now something that was seen as innocence is seen
as evil due to many films such as ‘Orphan’, ‘The Omen’ and ‘Case 39’.
Q3. Why do you like to watch horror films?
Highest: For the thrill and excitement
Lowest: You know you are not at risk
This links to the use and gratification
theory that people watch films for the thrill and excitement showing that out
film should be something that is original and different to what they have seen
in order for them to enjoy our film more.
Q4. Which one do you find
most typical in a horror film to be about?
Highest: Possession
Lowest: A Quest/Abduction
Clearly from this many films are about
possession such as ‘Paranormal Activity’, ‘The Conjuring’ and ‘Insidious’ and
because it is so common in horror films the audience are starting to find it
boring, however it shows that they rarely see people going through a quest.
Suggesting that my audience like to see characters going through a journey.
Q5. Do you prefer silence
or loud eerie music?
Highest: Silence
Lowest: Loud eerie music
I believe that my audience chose
silence as it creates suspense and without music, the audience can only imagine
how dramatic the next scene will be as music signifies almost what is coming up
next, so without music the audience have to use their own imagination and with
this the audience start to connect more with the film.
