Draft Survey

DRAFT SURVEY


A survey about our audiences preferences

What Sub-genre do you prefer with the thriller genre?

We used this question to see what the general trend is with the thriller genre. If we could see what genre is most favorable by the audience, then we could use the best method to relate to the audience.

Would you rather have an detailed storyline with a realistic plot or detailed fight scenes focused on action?

This question was used, so that we could understand in which direction to go when editing. We can also understand what age group this would most likely suit depending on the answers received with the questionnaire. Shaping our storyline will be easier through the use of this question.

What is your favourite film?

Using these question we can see the points at which we can improve our opening scene. We can also see which movies we can use for inspirations or ideas. Trends and irregularities can also be identified which will help us understand the variety of the different attitudes on our genre.


Who is your favourite film actor/actress?

Finding the favourite actor/actress could also be helpful as we can see what type of personalities we can use. Stereotypes/Characters can be used in our opening scene to relate to the audience.

Which director in your opinion creates good thriller movies?

Giving a set of directors which all make thriller based movies help us identify the sub genre we could also use. As we can see what director the audience is more accustomed with.

What do you expect in the opening scene of a thriller?


Asking this question will help us further develop the beginning of our scene. It also gives a sense of how thriller has developed throughout the ages. For example, early thriller movies usually started with murder/death which was a key point for developing the stories. However, as the genre evolved, scenes usually built up from flashbacks and establishing shots.

Is thriller your preferred genre?

We had to ask this question if our audience actually were interested in this type of genre. As we were doing a sub genre of thriller. This really determined if we were going to do a thriller genre type opening sequence.

How old are you?

Even though this was a sensitive question, we allowed it to be more discreet. This was done by making the options an age gap. For example 13-19 or 20-25. This would help us see how old our audience is and how we should approach in making the opening scene.

Focus Group

A  focus group  is a form of qualitative research in which a  group  of people are asked about their perceptions, opinions, beliefs, and attitudes towards a product, service, concept, advertisement, idea, or packaging. Focus group - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Focus _ group Our Focus Group The group we predominately asked questions were teenagers such as ourselves. This is because we believed our main audience to be ageing from 13-19 year olds. The thriller in our society seemed to have started to appeal to younger and younger generations. Now it has become a main attraction for teenagers to be watching these types of movies. The regional identity for our movie will be urban city. However, this does not exclude people from other regions. This is because our movie is about mental illness which is not limited by regional identities. Our focus group will consist of people from different age groups. This will give us a wider perspective on t...

5 brief product research analyses

Flight Plan At the beginning we see something light rush past a background of black. Titles then appear  over the black background. This creates an enigma as the majority of the audience are bewildered at what happened. The next shot is an over shoulder shot of a woman at on the train platform looking at the train. The woman’s emotions are shown through a close up and looks worried. Her eyes seem to be welling with tears. You then find the woman is alone at the train station, this could have a deeper meaning. As that loneliness might be a major theme throughout the movie. This is a way for the audience to feel connected to the character by sympathizing. Sympathy for this character would be the target of the director, thus making it seem like she is the victim. She would fall into the 'Princess character'  as she is shown as lonely, vulnerable and female,  due to Vladimir Propp’s theory. This gives more of a reason for the Antagonist to have her as his/her vi...

Initial Film Ideas

Image
My initial ideas for our opening scene is a young man who wants to become wealthy fast. The opening scene will include different strategies for him to gain 'fast money'. For example, music, poker and even daily busking. His money motivation derives from a troubled childhood. Near the end of the scene he meets a 'friend', which has similar but 'different' ways of obtaining the wealth. The genre of the film of will most likely be drama or comedy to try a establish a connection with our audience. For example Maslows hierachy of needs; These needs help us scope out the needs of our audience. By understanding what they need, for example self-esteem, we can develop a relationship with the audience. -His first idea is to read up on famous people who got rich and their 'GET RICH FAST' book. -His second idea is to become a rapper and gain 'music-money'.
