Lesson Summary
In todays lesson we gathered and summarised the questionnaire results and put them into an audience profile. I took the percentages from each question and explained why each of these these results benefit our group and help us create our 2 minute opening sequence. The results cover genre of music to be included to what film genre everyone we asked preferred.
Audience profile research summary
Findings of our online questionnaire : 30 people filled out our online questionnaire, this has helped us to choose what elements to incorporate in our 2 minute intro.
First of all we discovered that 17 out of the 30 people we asked were between the ages of 16 - 20, from this we have discovered that our film should have the certificate rating 15. The next majority age group that we had was 11- 15. The second thing we found is that the genders we asked were split down the middle, 15 of the people were male the other 15 female. This 50/50 split in gender was good for us as our results wouldn't be biased and we would therefore be able to see what each gender likes. The next thing we discovered that greatly benefitted us is that 60% (18 people) preferred comedy over any other genre of film, because we are doing a comedy film opening sequence this gives us great confidence as based on our results more than half of the people we show the opening sequence to will enjoy the genre. Furthermore 50% of the people we asked said that they watch films often, however 43.3% of people said they only watch films sometimes. Something we found that is quite interesting but isn't necessarily needed for this project is where people see advertisements most regularly. We found that 86.7% of people we asked said that they find the majority of their media texts through the internet and that 83.3% of people see advertisement through TV. Finally we discovered that 66.7% of people we asked said they preferred the music genre rock over any other, this gives us a good idea of what genre of music to put in our 2 minute opening sequence.
These results we gathered were very general and only give us a rough idea of what to base out opening sequence on. To get better results we would have to ask more people and ask and record more indepth questions.
Treatment feedback
Today we pitched our idea for our two minute opening sequence, along with our opening sequence we pitched the plot of our film, the key concepts we wish to keep and the one concept we want to challenge.

Focus group research
Focus Group Letter
Today we wrote a letter, as shown above, to invite people to our focus group presentation on the 5/12/11 at 3:30pm.
After we wrote the letter we decided to outline a variety of questions we would ask our focus group. These questions would have to give us an in-depth look into why people like comedy films and what draws them to that specific genre of film time after time. Some of the questions we discussed are listed below;
What is it about this genre that you enjoy?
Would the opening sequence make you want to watch the rest of the film, and why?
How could we make the film more appealing to our target audience?
What would you judge the target audience to be?
Would the film appeal to you?
What would you like to see in a comedy film?
What would you do in order to challenge the conventions of the genre?
