Planning: Reaching out to target audience

Us as a production team decided to take a survey to know the different opinions and views of variety of people. As you can see below we have posted our survey on twitter which had eight questions that were related to what people loved in terms of favourite music, locations, and where they like to shop for clothing. In are survey we also asked questions that were film related like favourite kind of thriller and leading roles in films. In addition to that we also asked their options on drastic actions such as abuse and violence. Generally this survey was successful as we had various types of answers and we have the opportunity to give the public what they prefer to see in films.

We didn't want our film to be biased but to accommodate the different aspects of views in terms of what people like. So we want use the results of the survey to put into our thriller film to persuade more people to watch are film at attract more of our target audience. From our results we have concluded that most people enjoy grime music, rather just be at home on a Friday night, enjoy psychological and horror films and love to shop in H&M. Most of the people we asked said that they wouldn't mind seeing abuse in a film as long as its not being encouraged; as a leading role most people didn't mind which gender as it depends on the film and finally most people love violence in a film.

According to this result we will make sure that we interpret them into our thriller film and future films to come. So because we want to please our target audience we will make sure that our film is based on what they said. For example most of the public said that they enjoy grime music so we will make sure that grime music can either be a diegetic sound or non-diegetic sound. As a production team we listen to the target audience as we want our films to be entertaining and be enjoyable.

Planning: Crime Thrillers

Crime: This subgenre focuses on crime, and is usually from the criminal’s point of view. Physical action and eluding the police take the place of gathering evidence and trying to discover the criminal. In crime we usually rooting for the bad guy. An example is swelter.
