Favourite sub-genre

slasher Body

Psychological Comedy

Zombie/post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi

Action Gothic

Favourite horror sub-genre: The data shows the most popular form of horror sub-genre is ‘Zombie/post-apocalyptic’, the second most popular being ‘Psychological horror’ and the third most popular being comedy horror. As we already intended to use body/slasher horror, there will already be psychological factors in this. However as my group’s idea had no way of including Zombie or post-apocalyptic we will try to include dark humour to add comedy without losing the horror we wish to create.

Favourite slasher weapon: The data shows very obviously the most popular slasher weapon is chainsaw. Although in our group we are unable to use a chainsaw in our film, we can use suggestive sounds and images to create the idea this weapon will be used as a threat in our film.

Favourite type of body horror

Alien interference

Supernatural

Zombie/mutation

Slasher/bloody violence

Other

Favourite type of body horror: From the results the type of horror I plan to do isn’t the most popular. However it is the third most popular of all the responses so I know it will appeal to some of the demographic.

Alien – 0/11Supernatural – 6/11Zombie/mutation – 3/11Slasher/body violence – 2/11Other – 0/11

Favourite film introduction type

Straight into the story

Confusing scene containing many aspects to be explained at the end

Slow introduction

A mix of all above

No preference

Favourite film introduction type:The results show the majority prefer a confusing scene where all the aspects come together at the end to explain the story. This is also my personal favourite and I am planning to use this type of opening to make it more exciting. However the other results suggest there is no preference within my demographic on favourite introduction/opening styles.
