Male - 10

Either - 20
Although the majority of the people asked said they would prefer either gender for the narration, there was also 10 votes for male against 0 votes for female. This therefore suggests our narrator should be male.

This encourages us to use clips from films as achieve footage as many people would like to see these clips in a documentary.
This show us that people find it very important to have expert interviews in a program like this so we will incorporate this into our plans.
Red and black where the colours most associated with Halloween. This will influence our print advert design.
Some useful questions and results, Robin. Good.
