For the first question, we asked whether our audience was male or female, this is important as males and females can often have quite differing tastes when it comes to films .
15 members of our audience were male and 17 were female, which is pretty well balanced.
As a result of this we decided to make our film suitable for both a male and female audience.
The second question we asked was how old our audience were, this is important because we need to know what age certificate to give our film an therefore what age our film will appeal to.
The majority of our audience were between the ages of 17 and 18, but it was not a large majority, only 4% less of our audience were between the ages of 15 and 16.
We therefore decided that our film would have a 15 certificate rather than an 18 certificate, so that we did not exclude the younger members of our potential audience.
The third question that we asked was what genre of film our audience preferred, this was important information for us to get so that we knew a general idea of the different film tastes of our audience.
The favourite genre of film within our audience was the thriller genre.
This is good information to know, as we are making the opening to a thriller and so it should be popular with our audience if it is done well.
The fourth question that we asked was how much gore our audience members liked to see in a film, this was important to know because from this question we could gage exactly how much gore content to put into our film.
The most common response from our audience was that they liked a bit of gore in a film, but not too much.
This made us come to the conclusion that we would possibly put in a few elements of gore into our opening but not alot.
The fifth question that we asked was whether or not our audience liked that edge of your seat feeling, that you get from watching some films, this was important for us to know so that we could either have this element within our film or not.
The majority of the audience said that they liked being on the edge of their seat whilst watching a film.
As a result of this, we decided that we would use the edge of your seat concept in part of the film, but not in the opening sequence.
The sixth question that we asked was whether or not our audience likes having puzzles and things to work out whilst watching a film or not, this is important for us to know as it could be an essential part of our film.
The audience said that they did like having things to work out.
As a result of this, we decided that our film is going to contain lots of engima codes and things for our audience to figure out as the film goes on.
The seventh question that we asked was what could a possible title for our thriller film be
The suggested names were:
Chasing
Love Story
KILL KILL KILL
Watching Daisy
Mysterious
Stranger
Alone?
Thrillville
The Hand
Whiteboard
Stalking
Scar
After discussing potential storylines together in our group, we decided to call our film 'Alone?'
We feel that this title best sums up the story of our film, which will be revealed in the treatment, which can be read in a previous blog post.
