To find out and decided the best possible film genre we decided to do a questionnaire. With this information we was hoping to create a clear range of data that would lead us to the genre of the film, it was also let us get an understanding of what the audience want to see within a film, whether they just want one genre or a misc between two. The results was:-
This survey is at of 25, it is showing us favourite genre's of film from in our media class. From doing this I can see that chick flicks is the most popular choose to go watch followed by comedy and rom com. this made us think that chick flicks would be the best to film as it had such a big margin between itself and the others.
I then went of to get some more information about what people want and what are peoples favourite genre, what I did was go into town to ask people what they thought was the best genre and the results was:-
This survey is out of 50 and was from people on the streets. As we can see comedy is a clear win with action being the peoples next choose, this made me change my mind about the genre of film we was going to pick as this survey was different to the other survey and more people participated in this one.
As a group when then asked people what they like about "Chick Flicks" and they answered:-
- "They are romantic"
- "They are cute and they make me laugh"
- "They always have happy endings"
We also asked people why they like "comedy" and they answered:-
- "It makes us laugh"
- "Exciting to watch"
- "Its just light-hearted fun"
As a group we then decided to ask our class mate a few more questions so that we would be able to make the best open sequence possible.
This questionnaires tell us that majority of people only go to the cinema once a month and normally go with there friends or family.
The last bit of information I asked people was what did they think was to be in a opening sequence, they answered:-
- Film title
- Cast and Crew
- Sightings of Characters
- Creates mood
- Sets the scene
- Make you want to watch the film
- Soundtrack
By collecting this information we should be able to work together as a group to make a film that people will enjoy and that will entertain more than one genre.
