My Questionnaire Results

My Questionnaire Results

From Graph 1 I found that my main target market is 16-20 year olds. This information will help me to rate my opening which is now a 15+ also it will help me to market my film as I can know set my marketing techniques to suit this particular age group. These marketing techniques include advertising on posters and placing them in areas such as shopping centers and train stations. This is because these places are the most popular for this age group and so it will be seen a large majority of people.

Graph 2

From Graph 2 I have found that my main target market is mostly female rather than male. Again, this will help me to market my film as I can know advertise it in female magazines. Furthermore, this means that I can change the plot and synopsis of the opening to suit mainly female viewers, however there is only a small amount of difference between the two genders so I will not make a large change as I also have male viewers too.

Graph 3

From the 3rd Graph I found that the most popular thriller sub-genres are psychological, supernatural and mystery. From this information I now know the most popular thriller sub-genres that audiences like. Fortunately my film opening has a psychological and mystery theme so audiences will enjoy it

Graph 4

From the 4^th Graph I have discovered that many people prefer the production to be set in a haunted hospital, house or mental asylum. However a forest or the woods are much less popular. Luckily for me my opening is set in a hospital so audiences will like the production as it is set in a location they prefer.

Graph 5

From Graph 5 I found that a very large majority of people found that 3 minutes is a suitable length for an opening. From this information I can now set my opening at the most preferred and popular time which is 3 minutes. By doing this audiences will enjoy the opening more. It is important for the opening not to be too short or too long. If it is too short then the audience might not understand what is happening, whereas if the opening is too long audiences may get bored. Fortunately for me my film opening is at least 3 minutes which shows that I have taken my audience into consideration.  

Graph 6     

       In Graph 6 I have discovered that the preferred villains are Escaped Conflicts, Demons and Psychiatric Patients. Fortunately for me my main protagonist is in fact a psychiatric patient. This means that viewers will be pleased with the production as one of the most popular villains feature in it and it will show that I have taken my audiences thoughts and opinions into consideration.

                                                                         Graph 7

      In Graph 7 I found that a large majority of people find that music is an important aspect in an opening. This will help me as now I know that audiences will prefer music in the opening and so I too will add thriller music so audiences are pleased. Furthermore it will create both tension and suspense in my opening which will thrill the audience and keep them on the edge of their seats.

                                                                                Graph 8      

      From Graph 8 I found that many people find dialogue very important in an opening. This could be so they can understand the plot and what is going on. This is why I have added slight dialogue to my opening so audiences can understand what is going on and to also portray the characters thoughts and feelings.

Graph 9

       From Graph 9 I discovered that there is an equal amount of people who prefer the opening to be set at night time and day time. Since my opening is set at day time and as the day progresses the location gets darker. This makes the opening more eerie and mysterious and will also keep the audience more on edge.

Graph 10   

       From the final Graph 10 I found that viewers tend to prefer the title of the film come after the opening. From this information I discovered I will now place my movie title directly after the opening, this is so viewers prefer this and also so the title will stay in their minds as the film progresses. Therefore from all of these questions and graph I have mostly taken into consideration my audiences opinions and tastes so they will enjoy the opening and also shows that I have made my opening from my audience perspective.
