The data which was collected is a helpful source in which we will need when selecting a genre for our opening sequence and from the results we selected on an appropriate genre (slasher) and conducted another questionnaire to understand their concepts and beliefs on the chosen genre convention.
Initially to commence the process, we printed out 30 copies of the questionnaire and gave these to 15 males and 15 females to complete. We decided to use a handful of participants for much more reliable results.
We’ve given them out to an equal number of participants to gain a fair result so that it won’t have an effect on the responses as both genders have the same/equal rights. We also decided to give out the questionnaire to equal numbers of both genders to avoid sexual discrimination.
We asked a fair range of different age groups. We decided as a group to have the lowest age range of 15 as it would have been much more appropriate for our 2 minute opening sequence.
Favourite genre: We asked this question to gain knowledge on the preference of our target audience so we could include it for our 2 minute opening sequence. A high proportion prefers the horror genre which was closely followed by the thriller convention. As a group we decided to go for the horror convention but we then realised that a horror consists of supernatural elements i.e. ghosts. This is will definitely be a barrier since we have £0.00 budget. For this reason we decided to do a slasher convention as it contributes both the horror and thriller conventions and it would be possible to produce a 2 minute opening.
A very high population watch movies and films in the cinema and online which is not surprising as in the modern age there are less people going into shops to buy DVDs and watch movies on TVs as we are in the internet age. We believe that the cinema scored highly as it individuals would like to feel ‘the big screen’ experience.
Where do you prefer watching films?: We believe that the cinema scored highly as it individuals would like to feel ‘the big screen’ experience which would not be possible to live at home in their living room.
Accordingly to our results, a grabbing and interesting opening scene is a must to attract the audiences attention. A slasher genre has many intros to their story, some may establish the scenery and some may just have music playing in the background as title sequences appear on the screen and some slasher opening scenes go straight into the action. So therefore as a group, we have decided to go straight into the action of the narrative to keep the audience hooked.
What attracts you to a film?:We asked this question to understand what classes a good film to be good. A very high proportion stated that trailers are an important variable in making a good film worth watching. Actors and actresses also achieved high ratings as this may be because of their way of delivering is interesting and also their looks may be pleasing to the eye. All of these factors hook the audience into watching the film.
The opening scene is said to extremely important in introducing the narrative. We decided that our genre convention for our two minute opening sequence is a slasher so therefore as a group, we have decided to go straight into the action of the narrative to keep the audience hooked as some slasher films do.
A very high amount prefer the opening scene to go straight into action. The reason for this being is to keep the audience hooked form the beginning. As we a group we also discussed what we thought was a preferable opening scene and we concluded that films and movies that jump straight into action hooks the reader instantly thus making it an interesting movie. We also found that narrative also scored fairly high on the graph above so we decided that for our two minute opening sequence we would include both these aspects to enhance the chances of an enjoyable opening clip.
List you’re top three favourite films of all time: We asked this question to understand and gain more knowledge on why these where their all time favourite movies. We looked at the openings of all these films and found out that a fair amount of these movies jumped straight into action.
Once again this pie chart shows that slasher movies are not a favourite with the audience. A very high portion watch a slasher movie/film at least once a month or none at all. By producing a two minute opening sequence of a slasher it might encourage people to watch more of this genre more often.
Many of our participants are quite informed with the latest movies that are released and therefore we have to make sure that our work is as good as the latest movies that are released in cinemas, by this we must have a good narrative which is as original as possible in order to hook the audience’s attention.
After these results were collected, we decided on a horror genre since it had received the highest votes but a horror convention consists of supernatural activities so we decided to amend our idea slightly and conduct a slasher opening sequence instead. We produced a very short questionnaire on slasher to gain knowledge on the concepts and beliefs that slasher audience would consider and what makes slasher movie/films a great entertainment.
