Focus Group Questionnaire

The focus group was conducted with 6 people from ages ranging from 18 to 24 years old who all have a level of interest in Psychological Horror films. By conducting this focus group questionnaire I hope to become aware of possible ideas for my film trailer based on feedback for example, the type of films they like and then research these films to find out more, like the types of codes and conventions they use.
