My questions• These are the
questions that I asked.
• These questions will help me understand what these people specifically enjoy about horror films and what gets to each different type of person.
Purpose of my research• The purpose of conducting research like this is to attempt to
understand the people who watched the film and what appeals to them.
• Conducting this research can prove valuable, as the creators can use it to tailor a movie to their audiences’ liking and include the kind of interests and elements that entertain or scare them.
• All of these demographics have to be understood to know what kind of things will be appreciated by the viewer and what will be criticized and not enjoyed. For example – a funny line of dialogue may appeal to a younger person, but not an older viewer.
• All of this matters because it determines whether the audience member will continue watching the film or turn it off.
