- From my questionnaire results I found that there is not any significant difference between each gender in my demographic. Also I found that most of my demographic are aged from 10 to 20 or 21-30.
- When asked about the theme that would like to be viewed in my film, ‘psychological’ came out with the most votes and ‘revenge’ with one less vote than that. This means that in my film I may combine the two of them as they were so closely selected.
- Due to my questionnaire I have decided that I will be using a graveyard/church location within my film, although I will most probably use a mix of different locations.
- 13 people within my questionnaire checked the selection for the film to have 3 main characters which was more than the amount of people that chose 2 or 1 main characters. By far the most people selected for the ‘bad’ character in the movie to be a female human. It was also made clear in the questionnaire that people do not wish this character to be made obvious through the film.
- Within the editing of my film I will be using fading techniques opposed to just straight cuts due to my questionnaire results. Also my demographic wish the mise en scene involved to be intertwined with the plot of the film.
- For my film I will be using modern music, a mixture of with and without music. Also I will not be using inter-titles as I previously found are used within many silent films. Finally my movie will be ending on a cliff hanger and not conclusively.
