Textual Analysis



Secondary Audience Research

I have recorded a montage of shots of my friends as i ask them questions on a flip camera but the usb has broken on the camera, so i still have the card but i cant connect it to my computer so it has been sent away for repair and should be back soon. so for now i will just write the questions I asked and what i found out.

What is your gender?
4 females and 4 males

Do you enjoy horror movies?
All people said yes

What factors do you enjoy about them?
The feeling of anxiety whilst watching them, adrenaline. everyone said things like this.

What makes you want to go see a horror movie?
Alot of blood, mystery, on a trailer when there is a cliffhanger.

What is your favourite horror film?
Saw x2, Eden Lake, the grudge, i dont really have one, dead silence

Do you enjoy reading text on movie trailers?
yes but only on horros because it looks boring on other film trailers. voice overs are a bit more dramatic sometimes

Does the narrative have to be clear from the trailer?
We dont want to know the whole film, just little ideas about what its about, but the narrative has to be good.
I dont think so, i just like the effects and the gore to look good.



I have researched more into the age group i am aiming for and have found the type of tribes that would mostly enjoy the type of trailer i am looking to produce by researching in to tribes and different types of people.
