Questionnaire


The questionnaire has shown us that the main age and gender group we will be aiming at is 15-20 year old males.

Our questionnaire has told us are target audience would prefer a horror thriller shot at night; they said that it would create more tension being shot at night.

However, we were unable to carry out filming at night due to lighting problems. The scenes came out too dark and we had no additional lighting available; so the project was filmed during the day.
