AUDIENCE RESEARCH - PRIMARY

From the first graph, i can see that se7en is the most popular film noir that my audience has seen. I will incorporate this by making my movie more modern e.g. making my film a neo noir like Se7en. I could do this by filming it in colour and using more modern language and settings. However to also incorporate the rest of the audiences' views of the the other films I will use techniques from those films too, including their themes and settings.

From the second graph I can see that my audience's favorite narrative is a crime/detective theme.  I will incorporate this by making our film with that narrative. Using this information from my audience I can now plan my opening sequence further by now having a theme. Using this theme in my opening sequence may now appeal to my target audience as it is their choice what my film is based around.


From the third graph, the main responses came from 16-18 year old however there was a response from each age group' therefore i will make my movie suitable for all audiences. However as most of my responses came from 16-18 year olds I will make my film appeal to mainly that audience however will also include elements for the older audience. Making my film appeal to a much wider audience than some film noirs.

In the first graph I can see that my audiences prefer a busy city setting for a film noir, I will incorporate this by using sound e.g. cars and people, to make it seem like a busy city because as I don't live in a busy city i will have to improvise with the editing I have. I can find busy city sounds on GarageBand and i will put them over the top of my film as background sounds.


In the second graph I can see that my audiences expect to see a detective and a femme fatale in a film noir I will include this by putting characters of that stereotype in my film. By using these types of characters I can link this is with the theme; crime/detective. By incorporating these characters into my film it will appeal more to my target audience because it has come from their choices.


In the third graph I can see that the most popular city for a film noir to be set according to my audience is New York. Due to budget issues, not being able to go to New York, we will try and make it seem like our film is set in New York by making our actors use an American accent to make the setting seem more real to our audience, that it is actually set in New York.

Primary research shows what we have found out ourselves about audiences views on Film Noir and what they would prefer to see.
