Target Audience answer analysis

 

 

 

 

q1. What would you expect to see in a sports drama opening scene?

 

When our audience was asked this question we gained various different results. These consisted of; some kind of physical activity, seeing the main character start with nothing and becoming a star, see the struggle of the character as the achieve success and also to see conflict between the main character and his rival who may also be their childhood friend. This made it clear to us what the audience wanted to see from our storyline, and due to the fact all of the ideas were similar it would be easier to combine them together.

 

q2. Would you prefer the films story to be heavily around the main character or the sport they are participating in?

 

The results we gained from this answer were 8 people who were in favour of the main character and 2 who were in favour of the sport. This made it clear to us that we would heavily base the story around the main character but also implement some story to do with the sport.  

 

q3. Is there anything we should implement in  our film?

 

When asked this question nearly every person responded with "a training montage". We expected this to be the answer as most films of this genre included this aspect, and when they were then asked why they would want this included they replied with "because it is usually seen in this genre of film, which will help the audience to establish the genre easily."

 

 

q4. What props do u associate with sports drama?

 

 

Due to the fact we explained the original idea we had for our film opening the audience knew it was based around a boxer. This meant that their response led to answers such as, boxing gloves, boxing bag, gym etc. This is something that we expected due to the attempted storyline we created.

 

 

q5. What location would you suggest filming in?

 

Once again due to the fact that the audience were briefed of the original storyline they knew the sort of location needed. so the most common responses we received consisted of; gym, field, park, arena, boxing ring. This what we expected due to the original story line.

 

 

q6. Do you prefer a storyline based around one charter or a group of characters?

The results we gained from this answer were 8 people who were in favour a storyline based around one character and 2 who were in favour a storyline based around a group of characters. This made it clear to us that we needed to create a story in which the main actor was the sole part of the film, which intern meant that we had to include a lot of detail in their role.

 

q7. What sort of outcome would you like the main character to receive?

The main answer we received for this question is that the audience want the main character to go through some life struggles but at the end of the story the character to have success and achieve his goal. When ask why they wanted this the most common reply was that this implemented conventions of drama into the piece, as the character would experience a type of conflict. This helped us to come to a conclusion on what would happen to the main character and helped us to develop a story which would attract the audience.

 

 

This will help us when we come to create our film opening as we now know what aspects the audience want us to include to help satisfy their entertainment needs as well as help them establish the genre of film and educate them.
