Film questionnaire (College work, rep to whoever fills out.)

[Rashelly]

Ok I have to make an opening sequence of a horror film (woot!) but I have to do this audience research questionnaire thing first, blah blah blah, I'd be really grateful if you guys could answer these questions, and will give rep to those who do.
Please choose ONE answer from the list given below the question.
Thanks in advance! (BTW, if you feel the question is too personal, just leave it.)

What do you like (or dislike) about horror films?
I like gorey ones especially, i hate it when they have like loads od sequels e.g Jason, i think a character needs to die out after a while.

What, do you think, makes a good opening sequence of a horror film?
Some history of the film, like something happns 200 years before the main storyline.
Umm, a good view of the setting, and build up an eeriness of a character.
A good gorey scene/murder scene is always good with loads of blood and guts.

[Rashelly]

Thanks to the people who have done it so far, rep added :)
When I actually make the opening sequence, i'll see if I can post it on here :eusa_danc
