From our responses to the questionnaire, we learnt that the main age group of the people answering our questionnaire was 16-21. This helped with the planning of our own opening scene as it helped to establish our main target audience which is 16-21 and their demographic and psycho graphic.
The majority also expected that hints of the narrative should be revealed in the opening and that they watch horror films to be scared. Thus, in the opening of our horror scene we are only revealing limited amounts of the narrative.
55% said that they find an asylum most suitable for a horror film and then followed by a haunted house. Unfortunately, we do not have access to an asylum or a set that we could re create an asylum, therefore we have adapted the 'haunted house' location to our narrative by leaving the audience to question whether it is the house that is haunted or the young girl to conform to the needs of our demographic.
84% responded 'yes' to having children in a horror film. The majority also said that they find possession the scariest in a horror film. Therefore, we decided to have a child in our opening and throughout the film, this correlates with the majority of the responses saying 'yes' to this.
Moreover, we are including just two characters in our opening, which was the most popular choice in our questionnaire as it is an opening, therefore showing too many of the characters will give away more of the narrative than needed in an opening. Furthermore, from the responses, 66% said that they wish to see two people in the opening of a horror film, so we did this in our opening.
Also, the two favourite sub genres from the responses was psychological and paranormal. From this, we decided to have the sub genre of our film as paranormal as we felt we could create this one better than a psychological film, with our equipment.

The majority of our opening scene will have low level foley to add the effect of it being unnatural. This is due to the greater part of the responses said that they find silence the most effective in the opening of a horror film.
