Audience Researchh Videoooo!

We filmed some people asking them what they liked about the opening to film, and what their favourite film openings were.

point 15

I looked at the bar charts from Pearl and Dean who sell advertising in cinemas, and who have to know their audience. This shows me that people around the ages of 15-24 and 35+ mostly go to the cinema. I can also see that more higher class go to the cinema, most likley because they have more money to spend on in trips to cinemas, and that slightly more females go. I learn from this that if i was to show a film in the cinema, i would aim for higher class females ages 15-24 .



By looking at this bar chart, I can see that most families go to the cinemas at ages 7-14 and 35+. Again it is the higher class that go to cinemas more, and are more females.















I can use these ideas that i have learnt from Pearl and Dean for my own film, by making my film more interesting to higher class people around the age of 15-24.

Mood Board

I created a mood board, collecting and sticking down images i found from the Internet and magazines of things that represented the film genre dramatic comedy. I made this mood board to help me get an idea of the film is going to look like, by the type of images and scenes and the colours.














This shows me that there are alot of bright colours used, to lighten the mood and create a comical atmosphere. There are also fighting scenes to make it dramatic, which would involve perhaps two people facing each other having an arguement.

Point 11-Screenshots

I have selected 9 key shots from the opening titles of the comedy/drama film Little Miss Sunshine. I specifically chose these 9 shots, as they stood out the most. The first two shots are interesting as it is a real background with a cartoon camper van, introducing the title of the film. The next 6 shots are all presented in the same way. This is quite a comical way of introducing each character, and it stands out by the bold and flat yellow colour that is in the background. The main character is introduced first, with helps explain the importance of the characters. The last shot is a scene from the end of the film, which i think is a key part of the opening title because it is showing what the film is going to be about.
