What did we learn from this questionnaire?
From this questionnaire we learnt that we should have a female main character since seven out of ten people said they would prefer one. We also learnt that the majority of people like the paranormal sub genre and along with that they also liked paranormal powers as a weapon. One thing people really wanted in a horror film is originality so we knew that we had to put a twist on the classic Bloody Mary myth to make it more interesting towards the viewer. They also said that if it was original they were more likely to remember the film because of that. We also found out that people either really enjoy watching horror films or that they do not watch them that much at all, except for a 4 and a 5 given to us (on a scale of one to ten) the number was either a lot higher or considerably lower. We found out that people think that zombies are over used in horror so we knew that we should stay away from that convention of horror. People seemed to agree that as long as the atmosphere and the anticipation was right then it would be a successful film.
