Audience Research

What attracts people to Films and what puts them off?
I did some research about 'What attracts people to films and what puts them off' and this involved carrying out a questionnare with the people in my school. I asked the questions: 'What attracts you to films? What puts you off films? And What are the best opening titles you have ever seen.' Although people struggled to come up with the best opening titles they have seen, they told me a few descriptive words that they felt best summed up a good opening to a film:



"Original and good trailer"

"Un Predictable"

"When you see the end at the beginning and then it explains the story, and shows the beginning again at the end"


'Things like Love Actually when lots of stories are combined and meet at the end"


'The plot is very important and shocking beginnings.'

'When you are having fun watching it.'


'Good acting, clever plots such as inception"





'Genre and funny opening.'


Here are things that people said that are bad about films and their openings:


'Too predictable.'


'Too dark, depressing and I hate subtitles.'


'Scary films always have bad acting'


'Bad continuity, dont make sense.'


'Boring.'

'Cheesiness.'
