Would you be fine to watch scenes which involves violence and gore?

Even though we have more people that wanted violence and gore in films, the percentage between ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ is near so it is not enough to incorporate violence and gore in our teaser trailer. So, despite these statistics being valuable for the research of our teaser trailer, we will not put violence and gore in our teaser trailer.

Which factor do you like in a Horror film?

The most predominant factor that our target audience like in a Horror film is suspense but both the factor, Horror and Action, have a combination of 50%. So, we hope to have some incorporation of Horror and Action in our teaser trailer but it will mostly be suspense in our teaser trailer.

What is your favourite horror film?

The most popular film chosen by our audience is ‘The Forest’ with 50% of our audience of 20 people. But, the evident code and conventions shown in the Forest would be shown in our teaser trailer but we hope to incorporate code and conventions from other Horror films in this question also.

What would catch your attention in a horror teaser? In this last question, we have noticed that Montages keep our target audience interested when watching a teaser trailer. But, reality contrast and chase scene have a total combination of 51% so we hope to use those factors as well. With the Other answer, there were multiple different answers so we will not take these differing individual answers into account.
