For the Audience Research task me and my partner wrote up a series of questions which would be asked to people around the same age as us, as these are the kind of people we are expecting to be interested and watch our psycological horror. From the group people we interviewed we picked out and selected the most useful answers and animated them using stop motion. The results are shown above this paragraph.
This has helped me get an extremely clear idea on what my target audience would like to see from a psycological horror, and what types of themes should be brought up into these movies. I have found out from the people we interviewed that many have come to say that they like the idea of very realistic scenes, saying that this makes them believe that such things could actually happen in real life, throwing them into shock and giving them the ultimate horror feeling. As you'll hear many of our audience prefer to watch these type of horrors with a friend or two, which means we can push the limits to how effective we make our film. If we made our film extremely frightning, as the audience preffered to watch these films by themselves, then this could cause them to stop watching it due to how scared they might be. However, now that we know people prefer watching these types of films with a few friends then we can make it as creepy as we want to make it, without having to worry about people turning it off as they will have the comfort of their friends.
Overall the entire audience research project has helped us come to many final conclusions on what the audience actually want, and how we are going to add what they would like to see to our final peice.
I have learnt that audience research has played a very big role in helping us discover what the audience of our age category really want from a psychological horror. I've learnt that tasks such as researching help us mould our ideas and movie plans ot suit what's best for our audience, after all they're going to be the ones who watch the movie and judge it at the end of the day.
