This is a video on reactions on some of the audiences from my target audience. The first film trailer shown was of 'The Suffering', which is a mystery/thriller and the second one was 'The Devil Inside', which was a paranormal/exorcism. This research was carried out in order to find out which horror sub-genre, they reacted to the most. The results showed that the scenes which evoked the most reactions were jump scares, as seen in the video above. Also, another factor which created discomfort among the audience were scenes in which there was absolute silence. In my opinion, these scenes were quite effective as the silence added suspense and caused the viewers to feel uneasy, as they were aware that something is about to happen. Therefore, taking these aspects into consideration, we decided to choose exorcism/paranormal as our sub-genre and include these features in our own trailer, in order to make it more professional and mostly, to scare our viewers.
