Primary Research

We asked ten random people, aged 15 - 21] their views of films so we could could an idea what would attract our audience for our film opening we are making. We found out from the results that horror and thriller put together are popular. Even though romance came out on top, together horror and thriller came as the next popular. They believed that an opening of a film is important and a cliffhanger ending is good. [which is perfect because this is what we planned to do] Not many people had heard of noir, which meant we had to cater to their needs more. For example giving in a very modern twist to noir characteristics so it was still interesting to the young audience we are trying to attract. Themes of film were all quite popular, but murder, parties and fights came out on top. Two of those, murder and parties, is what sort of theme we want to use for our film anyhow.
So from our results, the film we are planning to make should be perfect for the audience we are making our opening for.
