I asked 25 people a range of questions to do with their film preferences, here are the results:
By doing this questionnaire I learnt that the idea my group currently has will appeal to a wide audience if it done correctly as many people would enjoy flash forwards if done well and make sense in context. However some people thought that flash forwards could possible ruin the film by maybe not making sense or just ruining the end as they worked out what happened before the film is over.
Also, I learnt that the first ten minutes are important to most people as it sets up the tone of the film and keeps them wanting to watch. Although the opening to our film is only two minutes we will try to create something interesting that will keep the audience watching. In addition I noticed that people did like thrillers, as long as they were well done and captivating but less people liked horrors which will indicate to us what kind of genre will appeal to a wider audience.
Most of the people I asked mostly watched films that were rated 15, I think this is because they are targeted towards a mature audience without all the gore, sex and swearing as films that are rated 18. Some people did prefer to watch films rated 18 as they were more hardcore but I think our film opening will appeal to a wider range of people if we keep it 15.
Some people were for a female protagonist as it gave out a positive message to young girls aspiring to work in the film industry, however most of the people I asked were impartial and felt that it did not matter if the main character was male or female.
Overall I think many people would enjoy a film that was gripping right from the start and had good editing techniques, people and good writing in it, which is the type of thing my group is aiming for with our two minute opening.
