As you can see, we had a largely male sample in comparison to the one female who took out survey. This was a weakness of our survey because we couldn't generalise our findings due to the small sample. We decided to make our film appeal for the male audience rather than the females based on our results

As shown by the graph, our survey audience's age range was from 15-22. This was due to the environment we conducted our survey in as the ones who participated in the survey are of our age range which is why we decided to make our film appeal to this age group.

This question was asked simply to find out whether the people that filled out this survey actually like horror films as this would make it much easier for us having chosen the genre of horror for our film opening. Thankfully, 80% said yes, they did like horror while 20% did not like horror. Obviously enough, we went along with making a horror opening. All we wanted to find out now was what type of horror they preferred.

This helped us narrow it down to a final decision of doing a psychological horror film out of the other options we had. Psychological horror was the most popular with 60% of this genre. This would also mean we could expand our age range because stereotypically, psychological horrors are more complex in terms of storyline. Now, as a group, we have to research the elements that make a psychological horror movie to serve the interest of our audience.
Overall, the survey has been a success in leading us where to go with this film opening. We got a lot of great feedback in order to take us to where we need to make this psychological horror to appeal to the right audience which we have gathered from our survey.
the pitch
Log Line: Time for Isaac to face reality and keep his sanity, trapped in one of the world's most disturbing mental asylums.
Plot Line: The story is about a mentally unstable man called Isaac Hunter looking back on his past while being held in a mental asylum. However, Isaac has supernatural powers so his time as a captive at the asylum is cut short. Isaac needs 24 hour surveillance to make sure that he can't escape but expected of a horror movie, nothing goes to plan. Our location initially starts in a hospital a long way from any other contact from the outside world.
Audience: Our target audience is for young adults aged between 15 and 21. This film is also mainly aimed at males because after analysing results from our survey we found out that mostly males preferred a psychological horror films as the best type of horror film genre.
Distributors: Momentum and Hammer Films would be our distributor as they are well-known in the horror genre for making brilliant psychological horrors such as The Women In Black. This would attract not only horror fans in general, but those who were fans of the production company's media products.
Actors: Daniel Radcliffe would suit the role of our main character Isaac Hunter perfectly for him in his early days but as the film is set in an older time span we would need a much older actor. We chose to pick Jack Nicholson as he's best known for playing a mentally unstable character in The Shining who's acting skills would be ideal for our film.
