Audience interviews
Trailer Interview
An important part of making a horror trailer is finding out who your audience is going to be. After conducting our questionnaire we realised that our specific target audience was mainly teenagers between the ages of 15 to 19. Therefore we produced some interviews, asking people from that age range their thoughts and opinions of horror trailers. From these interviews we were able to find out that the most liked sub-genre in this age category was slasher. However we have decided to create a psychological trailer instead as we believe their is a gap in the market for a film of this genre. We also believe it will be appreciated by this age category as it will be something unique and different from the cliché horror films that have been produced so far.
From our interviews we also found out what their favourite horror trailer was. We are going to use this information by analysing some of our interviewees favourite trailers in order to get some ideas of camera shots and angles for our own trailer. The main trailers they seemed to like were; Oculus (2014), The Ring (2002), Evil Dead (2013), Sinister (2012), Paranormal Activity (2007), Saw (2004), Saw 2 (2005), Scream (1996), The Conjuring (2013) and Carrie (2013). This information will also be very useful when deciding our storyline for our trailer, as well as what kind of things we should include in order to reach our target audience. this is because we wanted to make sure our trailer was as effective as possible
