Research - Results of Questionnaire

I then handed out my questionnaire to 10 of my peers, and these are the results I received:

Q1. How old are you? 
5/10 people were 14>18
4/10 people were 19>25
1/10 people were 26+

By this I noted that the people I questioned were mainly in the 15-18 age range which is useful for the film trailer I am going to produce.

Q2. What is your favourite genre of film?
4/10 people said 'Horror'
1/10 people said 'Romantic'
2/10 people said 'Romantic Comedy'
2/10 people said 'Comedy'
0/10 people said 'Thriller'
0/10 people said 'Drama'
1/10 people said 'Psychological'
0/10 people said 'Other' 
This is useful as it shows me the people I questioned are interested mainly in Horror films. 

Q3. How often do you watch horror films?
5/10 people said 'All the time'
4/10 people said 'Sometimes'
0/10 people said 'Not very often'
1/10 people said 'Never'

This is effective as I know that the people I questioned watch Horror film regularly and are familiar with what they expect/like to see.  
Q4. What type of horror film do you prefer?
4/10 people said 'Gory/Violent'
4/10 people said 'Supernatural'
2/10 people said 'Psychological'

This is helpful as it shows me the type of Horror films people are interested in. Also, I think my film will contain elements of both violence and the supernatural. 

Q5. How much of the narrative do you expect to find out via the teaser trailer?
9/10 people said 'Barely anything'
1/10 people said 'A fair amount'
0/10 people said 'Quite a lot'
0/10 people said 'Everything'

This confirms that I will aim to give away as little as possible in my teaser trailer.
Q6. What do you think is the most important element of a teaser trailer?
10/10 people said 'Suspense/Excitement/Intrigue'
0/10 people said 'The storyline'
0/10 people said 'The characters'

This, again, highlights the minimal information people expect to be given through a teaser trailer.

Q7. Which is most important for you when watching a horror film?
1/10 people said 'A gripping narrative'
2/10 people said 'Eerie music'3/10 people said 'Dark Lighting'2/10 people said 'Mysterious Setting'2/10 people said 'A sense of fear/apprehension'

This shows that most of these elements should be present in my trailer.
