MAIN Post 2: Choosing your genre

From reading a newspaper article about the new james bond film skyfall, i came to the conclusion that it must be good to feature in a top newspaper The Metro. This paper showed me that ' made a significant breakthrough considering to this day it has only been in theaters for a month or so it is officially the top grossing film in the UK ever to this day. Other films included Aavatar and Harry potter. I came to the discove by doing secondary research on the internet via http://boxofficemojo.com/ this film is very popular and so have been all other James Bond films, and so as me and my group were undecisive about what genre to go for we all had a look and decided following this article about james bond that we was to do a action film. This website i went on shows the figures for the top 100 grossing films in the past year shwon on the website, it all showed mt that action dominates the big screen when it comes to the british public.

Questionnaire

So as a group we created a nice and short questionnaire that we hope would help us into deciding what genre of film to make our opening sequence about. Below is a sample of our questionnaire that has been filled out by one of our random people. The questions on the sheet varied from 'What is your favourite genre of film?' to 'How often do you go to the cinema?'. We created these questions so that they were short and wouldnt take up too much of the publics time to fill out.

 

Above is a questionnaire that I asked the members of the public to fill out to categorize, this one is from a 24 year old called pete i aslo done it from people of various ages to get the best result i could achieve. My neighbours response was what I had expected, due to the previous researches showing that action films were the most popular amongst the British public. The trend continued with the rest of the random people and we tallyed it up as a total and from the 37 people that we asked to fill out our questionnaire, 22 said that action was their favourite genre of film. The other possible genres to chose from varied but in second it was comedy.
