Within the action sport genre...

Do you relate better to film trailers with characters who are of similar age to you?
Yes: 22
No: 2
Explain:
Gives me more inspiration as I feel closer to them. As I am friends with people my age I prefer to socialise and pay attention to what people my age are doing. It is easier to empathise with the characters. I sometimes prefer seeing somebody elite embark on the adventure rather than people my age (older than target audience participant)

Do you prefer trailers that reveal the majority of the story?
Yes: 23
No: 1
Explain:
Prefer mystery, film is not as satisfying if you know what happens. I HATE spoilers. Leaving the trailer on a mysterious note and not revealing what happened is gripping. Cliff hangers make me watch films!

Do you enjoy the build up of suspense in trailers?
Yes: 20
No: 4
Explain:
Keeps you in interested, hooks you to action. Makes my palms sweat and excites me. Makes me feel energised and alive. I prefer watching films of people exploring rather than being in dangerous environments.

Do you prefer trailers that make it obvious the characters are involved with the filming, e.g. Showing the cameraman in shot, characters working with the cameraman, etc?
Yes: 20
No: 4
Explain:
Make it seem realistic and not staged, you can relate to characters and better understand the situation. The filming process is interesting as well as the sport. Takes me away from the suspense of the situation as I am aware people are filming and not 100% commiting to the situation.

Do you enjoy point of view shots in trailers?
Yes: 19
No: 5
Explain:
Makes you feel as if you're in the scene, helps relate to characters. Enables me to step into the characters' shoes.
