2. What Is Your Gender?
We decided that by asking an equal mount of
males and females it would make our results
more accurate and non biased. Romantic
comedies are usually associated with females
but as a group we wanted to extend our
audience and target a male audience too.
3. How Old Are You?
The majority of our answers are of the ages between 15-19.
This is because this was our intended target audience. We
therefore were more concentrated on their opinions and
tried to gather as much information about them as possible
to enable us to benefit them. However we then considered
whether we could extend our audience so we also went on
to ask some adults.
4. How Often Do You Visit
The Cinema In 6 Months?
This question was to help define our target
audience. The amount of times they visit the
cinema reflects how much money they are willing
to spend on such events, this then allows us to
decide how to ) promote the film and how to make
our characters come across so that the audience
felt as though they can relate to them.
5. Will You Go To The Cinema To
Watch A Romantic Comedy
Willingly ?
When asking this question we were
surprised to find that all of the 90%
of the makes we asked agreed that
they would go to the cinema to
watch a romantic comedy willingly
despite its attachments to the
female community however they all
said that they would only go if they
were with a female. This highlights
points for us as a group to follow
and decided how to bring males in
without needing a female
companion.
6. On Average How many
Hours A Day Do You
Spend Online?
The majority of people we asked
both male and female said they
spend 21 hours plus online, they
added that because they are
constantly on their phones they are
always online. This gives us the
opportunity to promote the film
accordingly and to include these
features into our opening sequence.
This generation is one of the web
and our piece will be perceived as
interesting and again relatable if we
were to include this factor.
7. What Do You Like Doing In
Your Spare Time?
This question highlighted
teenagers state of mind. Nearly all
of the people asked said all of the
above except for reading. Reading
is a very important part of
developing and learning we
therefore want to include books
and encourage young people to
focus more on developing there
brain instead of just spending all
the time online. We will try to reflect
this through our characters
however we will still include the
other activities that have been
voted the most popular.
8. Describe Your Look In One
Word.
This question was a personal question
rather than such a general one.This allowed
us to see the language teenagers use and
how they will describe themselves. This
changed the way we composed our script
and how far we would take teenage dialect.
9. Where Do You Hear About
Films The Most?
This question is relevant as it
allows us to identify and focus on
where to advertise our film and also
what to associate it with.
10. Do You Prefer Films With…
This question allowed us to see how far to
spin our narrative away from typical
Hollywood story lines and how to lead the
beginning so that it will lead into a satisfying
film.
12. What Sites Do You Visit Often When
Online?
When With Friends Where Do You Go?
Both of these questions are social questions. Again this helps to
highlight our intended audience and our advertising areas. The
21st century is the generation of internet and TV therefore we
will try to focus on these aspects of life and use it to our
advantage.
13. If Cinema Tickets Were Cheaper Would That
Motivate You To Go The Cinema?
What Do You Spend Most Of Your Money
On?
The next two questions look at the subject of money. As we establish that although
we would like to widen our audience to both young and old the majority of viewers
will be students. Therefore we will look into production companies that do
promotions and deals for students. This will influence people into coming to watch
the film even if they are not into this genre. Its also presented that our audience
spend most of their money on clothes, therefore we can start looking into
merchandise and all the money we cut back on in ticket prices we can make back
