From this I now know that if people want to see masks in my horror trailer or not. The answer that we both can see is that they do. My thoughts behind this is that people find this scarier because they don't know what is after them or doing the killing. They cannot explain what is going on and that is the scary part.
This is a very important question I had to ask, the reason for this is becuase I will need to know who I am aiming my film trailer at, and from this I will know what I will need to fit in my criteria for this.I can see from this chart that my main target audience is 16-24. This age group has matured enough to see horror films and not at the age where they have got tired from them.
This was also a important queastion to ask people. From this I can now choose what sub genre to do my trailer on. This simplifies the task for me as I can put a mask on someone and create a teen slasher sort of horror. Therefore mixing two sub genres and keeping a lot of people happy whilst in the progress of doing so. I will not be choosing the other sub genres and the reason for this is becuase they were not that popular and I simply do not want to do them.
From the answers to this question I now know not to put a female actor as my main character in my trailer. This is not me being sexist this is me being honest and I want my trailer to be the best it can possibly be, and if I was to cast a female in the leading role it would most likely not have that affect. According to my tartget audiene results.
I think in places you need to explain the demographics of who you asked regarding these questions did you have a target audience in mind or did you distribute the questions to a varied audience? The age and gender of the people you asked the questions to will determine your response.
