audience research

for my audience research i asked 10 different questions to find out wha the target audience likes and dislikes in a horror film to help give me an idea of what they would like to see included in my horror film. 

For 2 of our questions which were 'do you think that home footage is effective in horror films' and 'do you find plot twists thrilling and exciting' we asked our audience to state why so we had a more detailed response.
