Results

Our survey consisted of asking 10 people (all different ages and different genders)
5 out of 10 people were male and 5 out of 10 people were female
7 people we asked were in the bracket of 14-20 and 2 people were in the bracket of 21-30 and 1 was in the bracket 31-40.

8 people answered question 3 with 1-5 times of going to the cinema in the past 6 months and 2 answered none.
6 people answered question 4 with 1-5 and 4 people answered 6-10 horror films which shows us that the majority of people in our survey haven't watched many horror films in the last 6 months.
6 people answered question 5 with supernatural and 4 people answered with real life horror films.  
We recieved a range of different horror films for question 6: Creep, The Shining, The Happening, Paranormal Activity 3 (Chosen 3 times), The Sixth Sense (Chosen twice), The Strangers, SAW.
3 out of 10 people went to the cinema to watch their chosen film, which suggests people don't like going to the cinema to see horror films.
8 people answered the best location for the horror film as woods and 2 people answered with a house.  
Out of the people surveyed the most common numbers were 4 and 5, this is because people watch horror films to be affected by them and if they didnt get affected they wouldnt like the horror film.
10 out of 10 people answered the last question with the number 5 because they feel that the music greatly affects the tention and build up of the film.
