Thank you for your time.

I chose to ask about age between 15 and 32+, because the appropriate age for a horror film is 15 and over. I also gave an option of  32+ because I wanted to gain more knowledge of how middle aged/older audience see horror films, so that I could meet both young and elder expectations in my film trailer. 

I wanted to know who's their favourite actor/actress so that I can get an actor that looks similar to a professional actor according to the popular answers I receive.  These answers are bound to be names of a good looking actor/actress therefore if I have a good looking actor too, it's more likely going to appeal to the audience. 

I also wanted to know what the audience likes and dislikes and what they'd like to see so that I know whats expected in my trailer. This will make the audience happy and benefit me in understanding the audience and their needs.

I asked the audience where they watch film trailers so that I know which place is popular to promote my trailer onto.
