Summary of findings
Who is my target audience?
When asking how old people were, the highest number of people that were asked were between the ages of 16-25. This shows that my product should be aimed at a younger audience therefore giving the idea that the product that i produce should be modern.
Ideas Obtained?
The question which i asked 'What is your favourite film?' all of the answers were either related to horror/ thrillers or romantic comedies. Here are some examples of the films that were most popular...
Horror/Thriller> Saw, Final Destination, Hostel
Romantic comedies> Hitch, Love Actually, Mean girls.
There is a pattern with all of these films in which they are blockbusters which tells us they are most liked which gives the idea that the product should be produced is a related blockbuster! We could do this by featuring all the elements of either Horror/Thriller or romantic comedy blockbusters therefore if the product that i produced has familiar elements to blockbusters we know that the product will be more likely to be liked.
Favourite film genre.
When questionning people on which is their favourite film genre was, romantic comedy and horror/ thriller were the most popular that then gave the idea that it is relevant to either make a romantic comedy or a horror thriller as it gives the product a better chance of being watched.
Favourite types of character...
The most two favoured types of characters according to my results are the nice guy and the hero. Obviously a hero is stereotyped as being a man so therefore this tells us that we should include these characters as they are equally as popular as one another and yet again gives the product a more likely of chance of being successful.
I asked 20 people these questions and it turns out that 16 females were asked and only 4 males were asked. This develops my ideas even further to produce a romantic comedy as many females are drawn to this genre as it is the genre which most relates to them. Therefore adding up all the evidence the product that i shall produce should be aimed at young teenagers aged round about 17 years of age. The product should also entail nice guy and hero. With all of the results which we found out first hand we are able to make our product more likely to be successful.
Expectations of a 15 certificate.
.If i am to produce a 15 rated short film then my product can contain language but not too agressive.
. Violence is allowed but it can not be graphical.
. Nudity is not allowed in graphic form.
Audience Profile...
Gender: Female
Age: 17 years old
Favourite genre: Romantic comedy
Favourite film: Hitch
Favourite Actor: Will Smith
Favourite Actress: Cameron Diaz
Personal Profile...
The stereotypical person that my product is aimed at is a female round about the age of 17, who is in some what of an education. She would be a girly girl who is interested in socialising with friends, going out and shopping also she would be interested in boys just the same as every other 17 year old girl.
