Our Audience Interviews
Our Findings
Initially we proposed an idea to create a trailer on the topic of the Dark Web and so asked questions which would relate to this. However, after discovering that the majority of our audience did not have large background knowledge on it we decided to focus on a specific element - such as human exploitation - which they would fear most.
During our interview our questions helped us to focus in on what elements of our idea people will find most scary. For example, the fear of being watched or controlled by a higher power than yourself (eg the Dark Web or The Organ Trade). We found that younger students we asked were less inclined to watch horror movies and hadn't seen any recently due to fear or distaste. The adult members of staff that we asked had more precise answers and both seemed to have a favourite horror film. From this we can gather that our target audience will be around 15 years old or older, as they are looking for a lot more thrills. This movie rating will also bring in a lot more money as if we restrict the rating to 18 or over we will restrict a lot of those who may want to watch it. Overall from all of the people we questioned there was a general fear of their heads being messed with, which ties into the sub genre of horror that we have gone for (psychological). |
