Hello, horror fans!
My name is Sharna Young and I am conducting a survey for my Film Studies research project at De Montfort University. This survey is focused on the experience of women who are fans of horror films. I will be asking questions about horror films themselves and gender stereotyping for horror film audiences, particularly as horror films are often considered a 'male' or 'masculine' genre.
This survey is intended for people that identify as a woman and are horror movie fans, and should take ten to fifteen minutes of your time depending on how much you would like to write in your responses (as little or as much as you wish, though detail will help me with the results!).
The survey will be completely anonymous - your name will NOT be used in my research findings, nor will your identity be used in any academic discussions etc. I will be the only person to access your name.
The following page is the Consent Form, where I will ask for your name. I only ask for your name to differentiate between survey responses for when I write up my findings (again, your name will NOT be shared or used).
My email address is p2453019@my365.dmu.ac.uk, so if you wish to contact me with any questions, problems or to have your completed survey removed from my research and findings, you may email me at any time. If you wish to have your results removed, they will not be used for the findings.
If you are happy to proceed, you may go to the next page where you will sign the Consent Form. Following this will be the questions. Please note that there are nine questions, and the survey begins with question 3. The Consent Form answer boxes take up the slots of questions 1 and 2.
I hope you enjoy the questionnaire, and thank you for your time!
