My analysis of my audience survey

1. The first question asks people age so therefore
we can analyse the answers within people's
age categories.This will make iteasier for us
when we have decided a target audience for
our opening sequence and we can then use
the information from the survey to apply to our
sequence. The results show 100% ofthe
answers being 15-17 so this will be our main
target audience.
The next questions ask the person their most
interesting sub genre ofthriller to give us the
results ofthe mostpopular genre. We can
then use results to applyt our opening
sequence knowing the mostpopular genres
which appeal to audiences. The results are
mixed for this question butshow popularityfor
horror and romance thrillers.
Having a question asking people's ideal type of
protagonist will be useful to use to see what
appeals mostto the audience.The characters
are one of the mostimportantparts of the
movie and therefore having the audiences
advice will help their sequence appeal to
people and their preferred choices Here the
results show a hero being the mostpopular
protagonistwithin the target audience.
As we are focusing on the opening sequence
of the film, asking the question ofwhat do you
think the mostimportantparts ofthe opening
would be useful for our planning.With people's
preferred elements we can use these for our
target audience to improve and make our
sequence as appealing to the target audience
as much as possible. Here the results show
sound and an insightofthe storyline to be the
mostimportantfor the opening.
This question allowed the person to rank the
genre conventions in order of their preference
for the opening sequence.The use ofthe
colour red was shown to be top within the
results with the use of scissors and knives etc.
being the second mostpopular.We can then
use these results when composing our opening
sequence to use the target audience's
preferences.
The question how do you think the opening
scenes of a thriller should open allows the
person to show their preferred scene openings
of a thriller. The results showed flashbacks to
be the mostpopular and flash-forward's to be
second. This will be useful when thinking
aboutour opening scenes within the opening
and how the audience will reactto certain types
of opening scenes.
