In order to find out about the audience's expectations we had to conduct the research asking them about the main factors that would establish our ideas about the project.
We for example wanted to make sure that people especially young generation still wants to watch the traditional films. We were satisfied with the responses we got as most people chose thriller as their preferred genre, moreover almost all of people we questioned stated that gory horrors are rather to crude to be scary to them. We wanted to create the thriller film therefore the positive research results ensured us that our movie can be successful.
Our questionnaire has been answered by 20 people, in most questions their answers were resounding. Other, less relevant and depending on personal taste were more even.
We also found out that people like to involve in the action and solve the secrets in the plot. Most gory movies does not include very mysterious elements, usually, the villain is presented straight away, unlike in our movie where the killer is only shown shortly in the critical moment.
Other ways of finding out about the audience's expectations was research and viewing the existing movies like Tormented that have the similar, young target audience. We found out that teenagers prefer to see people of their own age in the movies as this helps them to familiarize and empathise with the characters. In our movie we will also have the teenager casts and props. Teenage thrillers/horrors usually appear as gory and bloody scenes of people death. We also wanted to create the teenage movie but with bit more serious content, plot and situations. We wanted to keep the traditional theme mixed with the modern and fresh ideas. Therefore even though our target audience are teenagers, older people will also find it interesting.
