The people I asked to fill out my form were mostly 16-18 and
mostly female, but two of them were 25+ which gave me a slight insight as to
the different views of the age groups.
I asked general questions like their gender; 13 females and
3 males, their age; 14 aged 16-18 and 2 aged 25+. I also asked a general
question of what films they liked to see in cinema with the options of
Action/Thriller (6/16), Romantic Comedy (5/16), Comedy (3/16) or Horror (2/16),
by doing this I was able to get an idea of what people that have a different
favourite genre perceive the kind of film I am producing to help me understand
how I need to make my film come across and the conventions they highlight that
I need to include. However, I also asked more in depth and more detailed
questions about the kind of film I am producing so I could comprehend what
other people expect from the genre I am doing. As I had predicted, both age
groups had the same ideas about how that kind of genre would come across and
what it would include to help show and point out what the genre was. This was
an indication that no matter what your age, gender or what films you enjoy the expectation
of what would be within the title sequence and the film itself would be the
same. For instance my last question was ‘What kind of things would you
associate with an action or spy thriller film? What kind of props or affects
would you expect to see that would give away the genre of the film throughout
the title sequence?’, everyone answered nearly the same things, they all
included such things as modern gadgets/high technology, male actors in suits,
guns/weaponry, upbeat fast pulse raising music and the body language of the
actors. This audience research really helped me to picture what I was going to do
and include in my production to help get my genre across to my target audience
easily and clearly.
