Thank you for taking part!




What I am aiming for with this questionnaire is to find out about my target audience, what draws them in about horror films and what I could do to create an amazing and seat jumping horror film trailer. This questionnaire will help me improve all my work and get the best results I can for my ancillary task. I want to know what I can do to have a terrifying trailer and what props and characters to use to scare my audience. This questionnaire will give me a lot of useful information!
