We asked a range of different people 3 questions, what kind of film genre do you like?, what is your favourite film? And what do you think of our idea for our opening sequence?. This is what we got.
The answers we got ranged from comedy, horror, music based, but mostly either fantasy or crime/action. This was good feedback considering that we want to create an opening sequence that adheres to a popular genre and so a wider spectrum of people. I also believe that crime and action based films can fit into almost any of those categories making it a clip that most people would enjoy regardless of set film preference. However, when asking what their favourite film was, many people answered with films that were completely different to their previous statement regarding their favourite genre. In fact, the majority talked of action based films suggesting that our chosen genre would fit under most peoples film choice. Whilst some people said "yes" they would like to see it, confirming that it should meet every aspect of an "action" based film and be a little different from the rest. Alternatively, others said that they may not go to a cinema to watch the film. A good response to this would be by the by producers showcasing a test pilot of the film (or a section of it ) to sites such as "vimeo.com" or "Netflix", where film broadcasting is at a peak at the moment for people to find new content.
From completing the audience research video I have learnt first hand experience as to what makes a successful film opening. By interviewing people of similar ages to me, I could gage a perspective of what people under that age bracket would be inclined to watch, girl or boy. Ultimately, the vast majority of people said that they would go and see a film like mine at a cinema or at the very least, pay for the right to watch it by means of streaming sites like "Netflix" or buying the dvd.
What development/changes will you be making to your own idea based on these opinions?
from the feedback I received, I am keen to include elements whilst filming, that will appeal to a range of people. I would like the primary genre to be influenced by action and crime but it should have a range of shots and effects that would attract people that wouldn't ordinarily choose that style of film. This includes subtleties such as the music, (non) diegetic sounds and the overall filming style.
