Audience Research proposal.

My proposal for my audience research was to design a Questionaire ( posted before) in order to find out about peoples views on independant and mainstream films. From this i shall find out about which genres of films were prefered by either sex, How my audience finds out about the films which they watch and what they find important in the films they view.
i could gather infomation by surveying people, or passing out questionaires. I decided that questionaires were better as the infomation would be easier to process and evaluate afterwards.

Audience Profile.

Our target audience wasnt targeted when we planned our thriller but due to the cast of our thriller being fairly young, i think that the audience we are targeting are young people that like strange, twisted thrillers. Our Thriller is shaped to this age group because our cast and costumes are fairly young and therefor can relate to the audience. Our film is an Indie film therefor related to an indie audience. They want individuality in a thriller, something different that sets it aside from every other thriller. I want people to think that the plot, and setting and general feel that the film gives are all very different to anything that they have seen before. We shot our thriller basically in the way that we would like to view a thriller with ideas that we and our friends thought we're interesting and then developed the shots in ways that we thought were slightly more interesting to watch. In the responses to my questionaires i found that most men prefered comedy films, Horror and thriller films came second. Elements of Horror and Thriller are present in our short opening and we think that this will make our thriller appealing. In ranking of importance plot and cast came out on top, ranked by under 29's. We put most effort when planning into our plot and cast and possibly setting. We also tried to make our thriller arty with some different angles and ideas, We thought that this made the opening appealing to an indie audience.
