First Survey
First question we ask was establish the main age group. We sent the questionnaire around to around people in our school via email. According to the graph 53% responses were from people aged 17-18 this is useful as our intention was to have a target audience of this age group.
This information was useful to us as it help support the idea that our target audience would be within this age bracket.
This question will help us establish the main gender of the target audience we want to attract to our film it would also help us figure out who we are catering our film to.
Looking at the 28 of our peers that responded we can clearly see that 64% of people that responded were men and the other 35% were female. This suggest that we should research about what makes a male stay and watch a film (because we were only creating a film opening). In the opening moments of a film the director must hook the audience into it. For example in fast and furious 1 in the first 20 seconds we see a panning time laps and bright green car, which makes me as part of the audience wonder who Is in that car and why is the guy we see in the car the first person we see in the fast and furious franchise.
This all could be impetrated as meaning that we will be mostly catering to a male audiences as 64% of males have responded, and males are easily hooked into films.

This question was asked so we was able to see what our target audiences would expect from crime film so we was able to see what they would expect from us however most of our target audiences have said they expect to see action, guns and chasing even though our film opening doesn't have these elements in them we wanted challenging our target audiences to see film opening with different elements of crime.
The question below are from the first questionnaire, the questions asked were not that revelent to our crime film opening therefore I made a new set of questionnaire more specific to our crime film opening asking our target audiences what they would prefer when watching a crime film opening. However this set of questionnaire ask was really useful in figuring out gender and age and information on our target audience.
Second survey
This question on how much we should give out to our audience was important as we fully able to understand what our target audience would expect to see in filming opening, which would enable us to sell and get our target audiences into the film opening. As we really aim for our audiences to get hooked into the opening. Also having a opening that doesn't reveal too creates a really mysterious and intriguing atmosphere when watching the opening. when looking at this particular data we are more comfortable of not revealing to much of the main character.
|
Since most of our target audiences would prefer a film opening where they are clear with who the main character is we have decided to make it clear with who the main characters are through their costume, narration and dialogue so that it is clear with the audiences should be able to be familiar with who the main characters are throughout the film.
|
This question was important to us because we was not sure if we should have narration or not so we wanted to ask our target audiences what they think since 68% of our target audiences would prefer to have narration we thought we should add some narration but only a narration that doesn't give away too much because we aim for our audiences to get hooked into the film opening.
