Although the majority of people who answered questionnaires were adolescents, it gave me an idea of what that specific age group would want to see in a horror poster. This determined my marketability for my future production. I made sure to ask if the candidate liked horror films and if they did I could take their answer into consideration even more. Most of them said yes. I also asked what scared people as I could use it to my advantage and come up with an original idea for my horror poster and its design. I also asked for favourite horror films to compare the different posters that are available for my pre production research. I can see what colours and lighting to use when editing my images. I discovered that the favourite sub-genre was slasher so that is the main possibility for my horror poster. I may also do a Halloween themed, zombie horror film as most of my audience agreed that they thought they were effective when they come out at that time of the year. For my research I asked which film they would choose. The film knock knock, the image of the woman, was more appealing to the section of my audience who did not watch or particularly enjoy horror films. The reasoning for their choice was that the poster didn't look as scary as the other film. The film Shutter was chosen by the majority of my induce for reasons such as 'it looked scarier' and 'it looked like it had a good storyline such as a plot twist'. This is the type of horror poster I would like to recreate during my coursework.
