Primary Audience Research

In this post i will look at severaldifferent people and ask them what they think of several different questions. I can then process and use this information in order to design my trailer to be able to suit my target audience.

The questions are as follows:

• What do you feel entices you to buy a movie magazine - the use of the magazine masthead, selling lines etc. what type of language and colours do you expect?
• What draws your attention towards a poster for a movie? What about a horror film poster do you expect to see?
• How is it you anticipate you will feel when watching the film? 
• Where do you expect the trailer to be located?
• What the audience expects of the genre (how can you ensure their answers cover narrative, character types, locations, props...?)
• What are the most memorable films in the horror genre and why?
• How do you expect to feel when viewing the film trailer and why?
• Do you expect to see the main protagonist on the poster or antagonist?
• How do you hope to feel when watching a horror trailer, and do you feel enticed by certain trailers?
• What do think about the trailer of "The Woman In Black" did you feel it was professional and would it convince you to watch the film, and why?

The results are as follows.

Me and my Partner Shaun Taylor interviewed several different people fromour age group about Movie Trailers, Magazine Covers and Movie posters. 

• We found that the older horror movies came out as the most memorable as a comparison to the newer films. 
• Many people found that an attractive magazine is one that has a vibrant colour scheme, and has an impacting Masthead.
• The people interview thought that a typical horror film should be located in an isolated and eerie location as it carries the forms and conventions of the Horror Genre.
• To create a successful trailer I need to aim to thrill the audience whilst keeping them enticed by the trailer.
• In terms of the poster I need to look at putting the protagonist on the main image.
