Survey Analysis

Questions about audience

What age range are you in?

The results from the second question that we got ended up telling us that out of 15 people who took the survey, 11 of them were around the age of 15-20, the survey also tells use that 3 people who took our survey were around the age of 21-25 and 1 person that took our survey was around the age of 26-35.

From the results we got from our survey, we saw that the majority of the people that took the survey ended up being around the age of 15- 20 years old which is very beneficial for us since this is the age that we mainly target at. By having most people chose 15-20 it tells us that we should not go all out on the gore in the film, but at the same time we could include blood due to people could still be around the age of 18-20.

What is your gender?

The results for the second question ended up telling us that out of the 15 people that answered the question 5 people chose female and 10 people chose male. The way this impacts our short film is that it tells us that most people in our target audience are male, which is a good thing since we were targeting people that were male anyways but we still should focus on the female audience.

What socio-economic group do you fit in to?

From seeing the results from the third question we saw that one person skipped the question only 14 people did the question The results illustrates the fact that most people are semi skilled workers, skilled manual workers and casual laborers and not that many people chose intermediate managerial and junior managerial.

This tells us that most people who answered our survey are skilled in a profession and some do not have a job, yet at the same time there are people who have job and do not get paid that much money. This does not impact our film that much when it comes to the content but when it comes to how much it is to watch since not that many people that answered the survey will have that much money to watch the film.

What kind of life style do you live?

From seeing the results of the fourth question we gathered that most of the people that took the survey are artists and we know that it refers to drawing since most of the people that took the survey are from deviant art. This doesn't really affect our idea much as because they are artists just means they will look more into depth about our idea and what is happening.

Questions about Inital Idea

What do you like most within a film?

We asked people what they like to see within a films, so we can then see what kind of things people like to see in all types of films and try and involve these points into our film. Most people liked things like jump scares, plot twists and also one person liked how creative the deaths can be within some films. This does not really effect our idea in anyway as we were already were planing on using jump scares during the deaths that we were also going to try and do in a creative way.

What would you want the killer to look like? (the scarier the better)

We had some mixed views on about what the killer should look like. But the overall theme for the killer was that he was tall, skinny and had a mask. Some people said about having his face scared but we felt that it would take too long to do that on our character, and also cost too much with make up effects. On person had also said for the killer to look like the character "Jigsaw"'s puppet from the "Saw" series, which was one of the original ideas in the first place. We had discussed this and one of our member's of the group wanted to be the killer as it was his idea, we will be sticking to our idea of having a "Jigsaw" looking characters of short and skinny but has a mask.

What do you like and dislike about our story idea? explain why

For this question we also had a mixed bag of views on the idea. Most people liked the idea and how it will play with the audience's mind. People also like how we are planing on having each death different in creative ways. Two things people disliked was how the main character pays attention to the fact that his friends are not messaging him and felt it would distract the film. They also felt that the ending could be too predictable and the film should be made carefully with lots of thought to detail so this doesn't happen. After seeing these views we decided to get rid of the fact the main character notices his friends stop messaging him. Also when planing we are going to make sure we have all the fact about the ending subtle throughout.

How many death scene do you think there should be?

We added this question we wanted to know how many death scene people thought we should have within our short film which will be about 10 minutes. The highest vote was 4 kills, which while looking at the time we is reasonable, which is why we have now created 4 characters which will die off

what is your overall opinion on the idea for our short film?

The overall view on the film was very positive and people though it is a great idea and could turn into a great film. But as like one of our previous questions people don't want the ending to be too predictable, so the filming will have to be done carefully.

Is there anything you want to see in our film? (i.e more depth into the dream side of it? more depth into their friendships ending? 

The main thing people wanted to see more of was more depth into the main character and other characters back stories to know more about them, so they can become more attached and their deaths become more meaningful. So we decided that the into scene should include parts about how they know each other and then also include about how the personality in the main characters brain is woken up.
