This was our first question which we decided on, as our film is a horror. Although we were already set on the mainstream horror genre idea, we though of finding out other opinions to see if we made the right decision and chose something that the audience would enjoy more. This is important as you can see on the graph, mainstream horror has the highest percentage therefore we would be more likely to attract a larger audience.
This was our second question which,again, we thought was very important as the whole thing is an 'opening' two minutes therefore it is important that we know what to open our scene with; also to ensure that what we choose is most popular, however more unique and isn't something which you would always expect. Although we want it to be immediately recognized as a horror, we think that we can make it not so obvious but become more evident as you go along. This would show originality and could surprise the audience and change there thoughts and typical expectations.
For our third question, we decided to make it character based. We took four of the main character (types) which we thought were prominent in many horror films. our final idea was 'a young grudge like girl'. Shown in the chart above, our results showed that 'a horror based mythical creature' was more popular. To some extent I would think that a mythical creature would trigger a fright and it is fairly easy for higher level editors to use animations to perfect something like that. However we didn't feel as if it would be something we, personally, could do. We ended up deciding on a young grudge like girl,which we thought was different as you don't usually expect to see someone of a younger age in a horror film; it would usually be teenagers or adults. However,we though that a young girl would have many representations and throughout the scene, we felt like we could change this expectations and make her into something shes not.
