Focus Grou Questionnaire And Feedback
Questionnaire
First graph: 1. What Gender Are You?
Basically shows the result of the number of people that took part of the questionnaire in our focus group. The Graph shows that 12 males took part and 8 females. I believe that it was important that more males then females took part as horror films are primarily targeted towards a male audience therefore i believe it is important that we get feedback from our potential audience.
Second Graph: 2. Your Age?
The graph shows the results to the second question which is what is the age range of those in the focus group? Majority of people who took part in the focus group where 20 years old towards 29 years old. The age groups 17, 18 and 19 years came next. These results are important to our group because our film trailer will be targeted to theses age ranges, therefore it is important that we have feedback from people within this age range.
Third Graph: 3. What is Your Occupation
The Graph shows the current occupation of those who in our focus group. The graph shows that 13 people of the focus group are in education while 6 are employed and one in other. The results are pretty much an ideal set of feedback for our trailer as these are the people we would be targeting the film too.
Fourth Graph: 4. What Is Your Favourite Genre of Film?
The forth question allows us to see the preference of genre in terms of films for those who took part in the focus group questionnaire. The graph shows that Horror and Romance where the most popular Genres in our focus group while action and comedy where the least voted in the graph, thriller genre was pretty much in between the two most popular and the two least popular.
Fifth Graph: 5. How Often Do You Watch Film Trailers?
The 5th question shows how often participants of our focus group watch. The graph shows that that majority of the focus group participants will at least watch a film trailer once a week or even ever fortnight

Locations:
Potential Locations for our Trailer
1. Group Member Blake’s back yard
2. Royston Field (near Penge Sainsbury)
3. Kelsey Park Sports College/Kelsey’s Woods
The locations of horror film are a very important part of it. The locations we have short lasted have elements that we want to utilize for the trailer. Blake’s back yard, Royston Field and Kelsey Woods have a slight fell of absence as the scales of the locations are rather large. Therefore for our trailer we were looking to enhance the feel of absences by using edits, lighting, mise en scène, camera shots, and sounds such aspects like fast edits will help raise the tension, alongside lighting and camera shots can also help in building a tense and heart dropping atmosphere.

Props and Costume:
Prop and Costume List:
· Three Props Knifes
· Three Black Hooded jackets (for the villains)
· Three Black jeans
· Three pairs of black boots or trainers
· Fake Blood
Why were theses Props and Costume needed?
Theses props are important part of the mise en scene of our trailer. We used props that intertwine with the genre of horror of our film trailer. Knifes are most definitely a significant factor to horror films especially those of the slasher and supernatural sub-genre of horror. Some of the most popular horror films such as ‘Halloween’, ‘Jason’ and ‘Scream’ revolve around bladed weapons such as knifes machetes and axes. Therefore we felt for our film it was important to ad the elements of bladed weapons. We also dressed the villains in all black urban wear. The villains costume resembles the costumes of Screams antagonist which is also a film which revolves of the slashing of innocent victims. Therefore carry on the continuity of the horror genres mise en scene. We also placed fake blood alongside the blades of the prop knife. The fake blood gives the suggestion that the antagonist’s have used the knifes to injure or even kill.
