Audience Expectations of the Horror Genre

We carried out some research to find out what Audience expectations were of the horror genre.

Interviews:




Common themes and ideas throughout the interviews were:
  • Gore/ blood
  • Zombies
  • Generally undeveloped story lines
  • Jump-scares
  • Suitable music and sounds

Survey:


I asked for their gender so I can identify the target audience more easily.
I then asked what the most important thing to them is in an opening sequence.
I then asked more specifically about the horror genre.


Common themes in the survey answers are:
  • having a sense of mystery/ambiguity
  • having spooky and relevant music
  • not giving away the ending of the story too quickly
  • having scary moments or jump scares
