Survey Results

What Villain would you find most frightening?  

The results for this question show that our target audience would find a child villain the most frightening, which is a major component of a supernatural horror.  But with the second answer being demon, we could incorporate the two villains together as we have already considered the use of a demon to go with ideas of possesion.




What time of day would you find most effective?




The results from this question signify that night-time would be the most relevant for a supernatural horror as expected.  We have already considered using night-time as it is the most appropriate for genre, although we will have to consider lighting techniques to use it effectivly.

What location would you most like to see in a supernatural horror?



 The results are quite close for this question, family home just about beats wooded area so we could easily use either location.  In this sitution we had already discussed using an urban area such as an alley way, but we can easily encorperate all three location together.

What style of music would be most effective?





Classical music wins this by quite a way so this is definitely the music genre we will be using.  Orchestral music is often used in horror films to create an eerie and frightenign atmosphere so we will most probably be using this genre of music.  
Would you like the music to be...?




 It is indicated here that sections of music should be played instead of no music or music being played throughout.  This is in parallel to what we had already discussed as it is effective to use some sections of either silence ot just diegetic sound.



Which character would you be most sympathetic towards?



As expected the child is the person chosen who most people would feel sympathetic towards.  Although our audience think that a child would be appropiate, it would be more practical for our group to use a teenage girl as we have already discussed this point.

What type of injuries would be most appropriate for genre?

 The results are quite tight for this question so all injuries indicated would be appropriate for our film opening.  We have already conducted research on bruising and cuts and how to recreate them so theese two are probably the two we would use.



What kind of haunting would you like to take place?

 Unseen demon is the largest answer, and would be appropriate for genre.  We had already discussed using an unseen villain as then we do not have to worry about creating a realistic creature that is also scary.  We can base a lot of the opening on the fear of the unknown.
