Initial Audience Research

Below is the responses that i got from a questionnaire that i posted to people via facebook. The purpose of this was to find out the different types of film that people wanted to see and what drew them in when watching a film, this meant that we could use some of their points to use in our idea.

1. When watching the first 5 mins of a film, what draws u in to make u want to watch more?
hmm, probably some sort of action or a mystery, where you have to keep watching to find out the rest :D

2. What genre of film do you prefer?
action/thriller/comedy type thing

3. Why do you like this kind of genre?
has a bit of everything, i get bored of chick flick things, all the saame

4. What sort of main characters do you like to see in a film?
well ;) someone funny?/ i can relate to i guess/ hot ;)

5. Would you rather watch a film opening that shows you how it will end in the first two mins or would you rather be left in suspense and have no idea where the film will end up?
depends! i think both are a good idea, but if you start with the end, it needs to leave you insuspense too ;)

1. well, being a boy at heart i ike a good shoot up or explosion or a bit of mystery of some sort lol.
2. i like horror/thriller/action
3.very exciting and a thecant look away, edge of your seat factor
4. bit of lento looka t for a couple of hours is always a bonuslol, but then you always want the funny guy and the one yo can relate to.
5.NO IDEA all the way, if you know the film in the first few minutes, whats the point inwatching the whole hour or so of it!!

1. When watching the first 5 mins of a film, what draws u in to make u want to watch more?
Some action! Otherwise I get bored, and lose it completely :)
2. What genre of film do you prefer?
Big actiony films, but you've got to love the rom-coms too.
3. Why do you like this kind of genre?
Because I don't get bored, theres nothing like a few explosions to keep me interested :) and theres nothing like a rom-com on a cold afternoon.
4. What sort of main characters do you like to see in a film?
Someone I can relate to, a normal person! Preferably a nice looking person though :)
5. Would you rather watch a film opening that shows you how it will end in the first two mins or would you rather be left in suspense and have no idea where the film will end up?
I think an element of both, I like twists and turns, but I don't like it to the extent where I have no idea what's going on!

1. Definately a mystery like meg said, or action or like when the film begins with what happened at the end of the movie, it makes you wanna know what leads up to the ending!
2. Well I like Action or Romantic ones! Kinda both! hahaa.
3. Because its exciting & I love it when the boy saves the girl :P
4. I agree too, a hot guy! Mmm Mmm :)
5. Well I like both but usually when the film shows you how it ends in the beginning it shortens it so it doesn't give it all away!

2. Action / Thrillre but you have to love a Romcom!!! :)
3. Because it put you on the edge of you seat that makes you want to see what happens that second!
4. Someone like me but the definately has to be a hot guy within the fist 2 minutes!!
5. Don't really mind as long as if you see the ending at the beginning you ca'tbe showed too much and you are still realy confused as how you gat to that point.
