Questionnaire Results

Prediction:As a group, we predicted that people aged between 18-21 would prefer the genre horror and the sub genre comedy horror. Where as the age above 21 would prefer Romantic comedy or Thriller. We also found that more people would prefer watching movies at the cinemas rather than at home, maybe this is beacuse they prefer the experience of being at the cinemas with friends, especially at a young age. At the cinemas you would find the quality of the film is better and that the sound can add to the overal scary appeal to the film. Alot of people are unsure of why horror films actually appeal to people, from our questionnaire we found that the majority of people like the horrofic scenes and the thrill of being scared knowing that actually, they are in no danger at all.

Summary of Pitch

On friday me and Ismail had to pitch four film ideas to the class, jake had turned up late to the lesson so me and Ismail had to present with only three of our ideas. The pitch ran fairly smoothly although the main point of our chosen story didnt cross over to the class well. Maybe this was because we were slightly unprepared and i'd left my notes on the blog. We were pleased that the class had some useful feedback on the ending to our story because we were debating whether our killer would be caught or remain on the loose for a cliff hanger type finish. They suggested that the murdered remained on the loose to for a climax to the story rather than simply getting caught. In all the pitch didnt go so well, but the knowledege we gained from the classes opinions could prove to be a huge help to our storyline, so in one way it could be deemed a success.
