Audience Research

Jess and I did some audience research by creating a tally chart and asking a diversified group of people what film genre they like, we asked ten males and ten females from both years within our post 16 college. The genres we gave them to choose from are as follows:

• Western
• War 
• Documentary
• Sci-Fi
• Adventure
• Drama
• Sexual
• Silent 
• Children's 
• Historical
• Comedy
• Horror
• Action/Thriller
• Rom Com
• Musicals
• Crime
• Animated
• Murder Mystery

I then realized that we made a mistake by  telling the people who we asked that they could select more than one, however we still got a clear enough picture of what our audience wanted. We discovered that the favourite film genres for our chosen audience were comedy and action-thrillers.
