- Explain the plot to us, do you understand it, are you reading the words on the screen.
- Is the age of the actor part of the selling point
- How important is gore, do you need gore or just frightened by suspense.
- Do you like comedy with horror
- What TV programs do you watch regularly
- Do reviews or awards mean a lot to you? If so which one matters more and why?

Below is the Audience focus group interview. We use two males aged 18 and 17. We asked them the questions above and got some good feedback.

Most of what they said was what we expected but some of the things gave us very good information we wouldn't thought of. They didn't seem to take in the words on the screen, however we think that we'll still put words on the screen as they added to the trailer's effect and split up the scenes well. They noticed the stereotypical characters in most horrors.
