Results from Horror genre questions (1,2,3)
1)
As an all round film question I was interested to know out of the 5 film genres (Action, romance, horror, comedy, and sci-fi) which one is most popular. The Pie chart shows that the comedy film genre is the most popular, followed by the horror genre. I found out what i wanted to know by this, and it is proven that the horror genre is a popular genre.

2)
This graph shows that it is equal in the ways that the audience watch horror genre. All the time and never are the two opposites and this shows that its equal in the horror genre as just as many people watch them all the time than the audience never watch horror films. This is the same for once a month and not very often. Both are equal, however these are the most popular answers again, showing that the genre is popular but not at the top as it is also shown in question 1's answer, as it became the second popular genre after comedy. By the answers from the two questions, it equals out the results helping me understand who and what is the audience of horror genre films.

3) Whats your favourite horror film if so?
The results from this question show a range of different horror films, two of the respondents did not answer this question. These are the answers:

Respondent 1: The Decent
Respondent 2: Saw 3
Respondent 3: The eye
Respondent 4: The shining

All of the answers given are considerably popular horror films. This shows that audience in which my film was shown to are familiar with the horror genre, which means that my audience feedback will be opinions of horror fans, making it more honest than people who do not like the genre at all.
