1. Do you watch Teaser Trailers and do you find them useful?
100% of people asked do watch teaser trailers, which only highlights how essential the teaser trailer is for a film. This means that you are unable to give too much away as you can easily sway our viewers into deciding not to watch it or encourage them to watch it; the balance has to be correct. They have also been useful to the majority of people asked because the producers have kept the correct balance and only enhanced the chance of the viewer going to see the film at a later date. This balance which keeps being mentioned is not actually set in stone and often relies on personal opinion which only makes it harder.
2. Do you think that films with the genre of Horror rely more on teaser trailers/trailers than other genres?
The Majority of people asked have said that horror do reply more on teaser trailer because of the use of unknown actors and because horror needs to draw the attention of the audience more an create suspense. Although it was suggested that the genre of comedy relies more as horror films are able to use posters as an alternative.

3. What is it specifically that you enjoy or dislike about horrors in general and why?
There have been suggestions such as unusual story lines, the psychological effect it has and the whole pace of the are what the viewers look forward too and enjoy about the genre of Horror. There was also mentions of some conventions such as final girl and typical traits which are found throughout films. The use of special effects and make up also mean that people enjoy the visual effect of the film. This means by including some conventions of horror films, and using visual effects such as make up we are more likely to attract a bigger audience.
4. What would you expect to see in most horror films and do you think its effective?
The mention of unknown actors is in our favour, as we will be using unknown actors which mean that there isn't as much of an impact if we were to be comparing ourselves to famous actors. People also expect weird situations which means that storylines can be as exaggerated as possible, with a common victim seen in every horror film. The effectiveness of the horror films relate back to sound, lighting and editing which is where our input will take over and hopefully improve its effectiveness.

5. If you dislike horrors but saw a teaser trailer which interested you, would you automatically go and watch the film?
Depending on whether you are really interested in all genres it seems that those who watch films on a regular basis would definitely be willing to see the film which is the majority of those asked, although over half said that it was a maybe. The fact that nobody said no means that we also have the opportunity to persuade anyone to come and watch the film even those who dislike the genre horror as long as they are interested in the trailer.
6. Have modern horror films changed that much more than older horror films?
The responses where mixed from this question as some suggested that old horror films were boring as they were black and white and not as entertaining as modern films, although the other view is that the use of camera work and editing back in old horror films were both really effective at scaring the audience and there is the argument that a lot of modern horror films are based on old horror films with the change in the amount of blood and gruesomeness which is used. This is an interesting response as its down to personal opinion which is hard to please everyone and entertain everyone.
7. Do you prefer watching horror films at home or in the cinema and why?\
This question depends lots of whether you enjoy horror films as much, some suggest that being at home you are able to lock yourself away and know that you are safe although some same the cinema as it makes you feel that you are leaving it behind when leave. With most people suggesting that they prefer watching horror films which friends it shows that horror as a genre is effective as we prepare ourselves to watch it. There is a percentage who will go to the cinema with the other half buying DVD's or renting to watch at home which mean there is profit in it either way.
