Questionaire Summary:


After this Questionaire was taken, we found various results to help us decide what genre of film we should chose to put into production. The majority of student's aged between 13 right through to early 20's, seemed to view movie's of all the genre's fairly, watching them mainly on DVD, with the odd cinema visit, with friends or girlfriend/boyfriends. Also the results showed the older generation, late 20's to 40's watched mainly DVD/Blu-ray with a range of family members and we found alot in that age group, mainly women who went to the cinema were taking son's or daughter's. A vast majority showed that the male gender watched more Horror and Thriller films than the females. The females watched more Romantic-Comedies but suprisingly more males than thought, watched Rom-Com's but mainly with their girlfriends/wife's or friends.
Overall more people rent or buy the movie on DVD than view it on release at the cinema. The majority of audiences prefered American produced films, then United Kingdom produced, then Bollywood and other. On average between 1-2 movies are viewed per week and most watched out of the three genre's is Romantic Comedy. On this outlook, it was viewed deeper into what aspects are important to our audience within Romantic-Comedy films. This suggested that well-known actor's are included, that are good looking and have good on-screen chemistry, there a few love scene's and mainly set within a city location. Also rather important it contained a comedian of some sort.
 Concluding these results, it was decided there was a gap in the market for 'Bollywood' style teen, romantic-comedy movie, that 'Heartrhob Productions' could fill and it could be enjoyed by all generations whilst including age/classification 12A and upwards. With some known faces but also introducing unknown actors- to set them on their way into the lime light and more opportunities, encouraging younger/student viewers into such a career as TV& Film.




This table above, taken from http://sy10.ukfilmcouncil.ry.com/14.4.asp shows that teenagers enjoy Comedy film's but there doesn't seem to be much romance within the top 20 UK films picked for this age group, therefore emphasising why it is important to close the gap in the market and rekindle this generation with its beloved Comedy genre and with its lost Romance for a new Romantic-Comedy Film.
