Before I start my planning with my group to create a horror trailer I have to take into consideration all the aspects of research that will be used to enable that my trailer targets a wider audience age ranging for 15-24 years. this target audience is easier to access as i am apart of a sixth form community where ages ranges from 11-19 (not including teachers) i can use this to my advantage and ask people that are at the cusp of my target audience. Even though 24 years are a lot older than a 15 year old i want to research as see if they have the same fears and find the same aspects of horror scary.
My research will consist of using various different types of audience research targetting those who watch horror films and what makes them keep watching them? and what makes them jump? The audience are the most important as when doing research they are the ones that are typically going to watch the trailer that i have created.
Through looking into Horror theories, it can be said that the world has some what become desensitised to issues within the world especially shown through horror movies. Due to the fact that society has become less desensitised it makes it harder for audiences to be scared. Currently, paranormal activities and exorcism are more effective for horror lovers especially for myself. I will then research into this conclusion to see if this applies to those I am going to use for my research.
For my research I will need to use a camera when asking my target audience what they fear, I also plan on using a Mac computer to record my focus group as they watch clips/trailers. As well as doing a verbal survey to questions about their interests in Horror.
