Analysis

The results above show the feedback from a few of the participants out of 20 that answered my questionnaire. Participants ages ranged from about 12-18. This meant that the most popular film certificate was between 12 and 15 as most participants asked were old enough to watch them. The majority liked horror films with either thriller or slasher being their favourite genre which has helped me decide on what type of horror film i will be doing. Most participants respond to trailers because they give more of an insight of the films which influences them more than what posters or magazines would. I found that the main actor doesn't influence most people to watch a film as a famous actor doesn't necessarily make a film good or not.
