Audience Expectations

 

 

~ SECONDARY RESEARCH ~

- An audience expects to be scared or left on edge whilst watching a thriller film, with anticipated jump scares otherwise seen in horror films such as Don't Breathe.

 

- Within a supernatural film, research also suggests that an audience expects the main protagonist to be 'different' and have an ability others don't. Likewise, they would also expect to come face to face with supernatural creatures, as the sub-genre title suggests, for example, werewolves (Twilight).

 

- Mysterious and ominous settings, with dark lighting to depict the dark nature of the film.
