Opening of a fiction film. Questionnaire report.

For my two minute opening of my fiction film, i did a questionnaire to see what other people prefer, in different types on genres of a movie such as what they would rather expect to see in a horror etc..
Here is the questionnaire that i have produced.

1. What genre do you prefer watching?
  • ROM-COM.          
  • Horror. 
  • Thriller.                                      

2. What makes a good horror?
  • Blood                   
  • Killer                     
  • Scary

3. What kind of affects makes a good thriller?
  • Explosions.
  • Natural Causes.
  • Crime.
4. Would it make ROM-COM'S better, if their stereotypes changed? (i.e blond pretty girls to natural brunettes)


5. Does the setting matter in genres of films?


6. Is it better if horrors seemed more real life, rather than made-up (or fake) ?


7. Do you think that films about average people are better than extraordinary?
  • Yes.
  • No.
8. Do you fund films in the present day more relatable and therefore better?


9. Do you think that a horror or thriller film would be better if it was slightly humours instead of being completely serious?


10. Does it matter what type of couple you would see in a ROM-COM (i.e a straight or homosexual couple) ?



These questionnaires were given out to 10 people.
Here are the results that i have found.

1. more people preferred horror.






 None out of the ten people prefer to watch ROM-COM's. 7 people prefer to watch horrors. This is the most popular. 3 people prefer to watch thrillers. This is the second most popular. This means that more people seem to find horrors more appealing to them.



2. Most people like the idea of having blood in horror films.








Most of the participants of our questionnaire prefered blood to be in a horror film, as it makes it more gorey, and creepyer to watch rather than having it to just be scary, or having a killer in the horror. Blood in horrors tend to represent death, and more horror in real life.

3. More people prefer explosions in a thriller film.








I found that more people prefered explosions in Thrillers as they are more exciting and attention grabbing for the film, with the amazing special affects. 

4. Most people said no that it doesn't matter about the stereotypes changing.






Most people said it doesn't matter about stereotypes in ROM-COM's as all different people can be in love rather than the stereotypical blonde pretty woman  and the attractive good looking man.



5. Most people said yes that it does matter about the setting for genres of films.






I found that it does matter about the setting for genres of films as it wouldn't look right and will likely to cause confussion to the viewer for example, a ROM-COM wouldn't look right if it was to be set in a haunted house, so you wouldn;t know whether i would be a ROM-COM or a horror film.





6. Most people said yes that it is better if horrors seemed more real life.





It is better that horrors seemed more real life as it would be more scary and realistic, which would bring more fear to the viewer of any film.



7. More people said no to films being about average people rather than extraodinary.





Extraodinary people seem to be more exciting for the viewer and makes the film much more interesting.


8. Most people said yes that more films are in the present day which are relatable and makes them better.










It is better that films are set in the present day as it seems more real life and wouldnt be boring if it was something set in the past.




9. Most people said no as horror films are better when they are serious.










It is better when horror films are serious as they seem more scary and make the viewer feel tension; horror films have to be serious as they couldn't be funny etc... meaning they can't be horrors.




10. Most people said that it doesn't matter what types of couples are in a ROM-COM.


The types of couples in ROM-COMs wouldn't really matter as there are different types of couples all around the world, so it wouldn't make a difference.
