Before we decide on a storyline/narrative we need to research what our audience would want to see. Yes, we all have our own ideas but we need to make sure we reach a wide target audience and give them something enjoyable. To research what the general public wanted from a horror teaser trailer we created a ten question questionnaire. The results are shown below:
Q1 - What age are you?
Q2 - Are you male or female?

Q7 - Would you like to be able to relate to the characters within the film?
Q8 - Would you prefer to see obvious and gory or subtle and suggestive horror?
