QUESTIONNAIRE
When giving our questionnaire to 10 different people who ages ranged from 12-25 we found out exactly what they like to watch. This helped us know what we should include in our opening title sequence. The reason we asked people who were between 12-25 is because this is the ages that horror films are aimed at.

For question one we found out that 30% prefer paranormal, 50% prefer slasher, 10% prefer other and the other 10% prefer supernatural. With the 50% preferring slasher this is a great idea for us to make our opening title sequence a slasher. For question two This question helped us find out that people enjoyed films such as paranormal activity, scream, Texas chainsaw massacre and Halloween. This reassured us for doing as slasher as the majority of these films are slasher. For question three it tells us what interests people the most when watch horror films. Question four tells us what will interest the audience more and what weapon will be more effective to use for our OTS. Question five tell us what to focus on the most for our OTS to create more suspense for the audience. Question six will give us an idea on where to film our OTS. This is important because it will create more suspense and create an atmosphere for the audience.
