This is a link to my survey - http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/F7PKHZX
I have 24 people who have answered my survey which is a good amount as it will show me a decent range of the answers. from my results i should be able to see the preferences which usual horror viewers would expect from horror films and what they would like to see. In my survey i also asked closed and open questions so that i could make charts from my closed questions but also from my open question i could get more detail and better answers. The question i asked in my survey and the answers are below -

From my results it got back some helpful information such as what people enjoy in horror films and what they expect so i could use this information for my horror opening to help it be better. Also i have a range of different favorite horror movies so i could use these as bases and look at them and see if i liked any pf the techniques used in them. I feel though i could do my questionnaire again and improve my question because some of them had no relevance to my research such as What gender they are and two of the questions were quite similar so it was not that good. overall i feel i got sufficient information back to help me with my opening.
