Audience Analysis

What age bracket do you fit into?

90% of the people I questioned were in the age bracket of 11 to 20. I did this intentionally because this age group is the target audience for my film. I surveyed the other 10% for a difference in opinion and results.

What gender are you?

The gender of the person may be slightly irrelevant to the overall decision making on my film. However, I tried to survey both males and females to compare whether gender affected the type of films they enjoyed best. 70% were female and 30% were male.

What genre of movie is your favourite?

30% of the people questioned liked Rom-Com’s best out of many different genres of movie. All the people who answered Rom-Com in the questionnaire were females, this is no surprise. Next in line were Fantasy and War with 20% each. However, Horror, the genre of my movie got only 5% of the total number. This is disappointing, but I will consider adding some traits of other genres to make it more appealing to the mass.

What elements do you think makes a good movie?
There were many answers to this question, some were interesting. However, the answers that kept popping up were an unpredictable plot, suspense and a good cast. In my movie I will build suspense with music. Also, I will provide the best cast I can because I will choose people who are as enthusiastic as I am. Hopefully, this will achieve the results required.

Where do you prefer to watch movies?

After conducting my survey, the answer that was most popular was the cinema, with a massive 55% of the overall answer tally. It is interesting because that people like to see movies as quickly as possible and enjoy it as a group. Hopefully my movie will be shown in a similar way to a group of people. Just not on a scale of the same size.

For a horror movie what would be your preferred setting?

Both a ‘hospital’ and ‘in the forest/woods’ are the highest preferred locations for a horror movie with 30% each. This is good for me because my movie will be set in a woodland area. Hopefully, along with the content, this will attract viewers.

Do you mind subtitles?

The reason I asked this question this was because I am hoping to use subtitles in my film. I was curious to see people’s reaction to subtitles. 80% of the people questioned answered that they didn’t mind subtitles. This has encouraged me to use subtitles in my film.

Do you think that a good cast makes a good film?

My results showed that every person questioned as part of my survey believed that a good cast makes a good film. I will go out of my way to try and cast people in my film who create the correct mood and are as enthusiastic as I am about making the film. Hopefully, this will come across on the screen.
