Results of Questionnaire

Here are the results of my questionnaire:        

1. Out of fifteen people, nine were males and six were females
2. Two people were in the Under 16 category, there were ten people in the 16-24 category, none in 25-34, two in 35-60, and one in 60 Plus.

So, from now on, I will talk in terms of gender and age . . .

3. Out of fifteen participants, no one visits the cinema once a week, eleven people visit the cinema once a month (six males and five females/two under 16, eight 16-24 and one 35-60), three people visit the cinema once a year (two males and one female/two 16-24 and one 35-60) and one person does not visit the cinema at all (one male/60 plus).
4. Out of fifteen people, eight enjoy horror films (six males and two females/one under 16, seven 16-24 and one 35-60) and seven do not (three males and four females/one under 16, three 16-24, one 35-60 and one 60 plus). 
5. Here are the reasons why these people enjoy horror films: "I enjoy being scared", "They are unexpected", "They are very exciting", "You get to experience a variety of emotions when you watch a horror film", "Horror films create an atmosphere quite unlike anything any other genre creates", "I think horror movies are far more interesting compared to other films" and "I like the blood and gore". 
6. Here are the genres preferred by those who do not enjoy horror films: four people prefer comedy, two people prefer action and one person prefers romance.
7. Here are the favourite horror films of those who enjoy this genre: one person likes The Silence of the Lambs, one person enjoys the Exorcist, one person likes 28 Days Later, two participants think The Ring is the best horror film out there and three people say The Grudge is their favourite horror movie.
8. Out of fifteen participants, six enjoy going out with friends (two males and four females/one under 16 and five 16-24), one person likes going to parties (one male/16-24), three people enjoy watching films (two males and one female/one under 16, one 35-60 and one 60 plus), three people like playing video games (three males/16-24), no one likes listening to music, one person enjoys sport (one male/16-24) and one person likes doing hobbies (one female/35-60).
9. Five people like Pop (five females/four 16-24 and one 35-60), one person likes Hip-Hop (one male/under 16), no one likes R&B, seven people enjoy Rock music (six males and one female/one under 16, five 16-24 and one 35-60), one person likes the genre of Metal (one male/16-24), no one enjoys Country music, one person likes Classical music (one male/60 plus) and no one had any other preference.
10. Two people thought an isolated house would be the best location for a horror movie (two females/one 16-24 and one 35-60), six people thought that a school would be best (four males and two females/two under 16 and four 16-24), three people thought the woods (two males and one female/two 16-24 and one 60 plus), nobody thought a suburban area would be a good idea, nobody liked the beach/ocean either, two people thought a castle (one male and one female/all 16-24), one person voted for the cemetery (one male/16-24) and one person liked the idea of a hotel (one male/35-60). 

So, judging from the results of this questionnaire, my group and I can now see that males aged 16-24 are our target audience.
