We carried out questionnaires in order to discover what potential audience members want to see in a certain film genre. We questioned both males and females and a variety of ages. This helped us gain a greater understanding of what the audience enjoy watching.
When asked how likely they would be to watch a romance film at the cinema, participants answers varied. This shows that participants preferred different genres of films.
6/8 participants expected to see 2-3 main protagonists introduced within the opening. The remaining 2 participants expected to see 0-1.
All participants said that expected the main protagonist to be a young adult.
All participants also said that they expected the story line to be the stereotypical boy meets girl story where something between then goes wrong but they end up together in the end.
6/8 participants want a romance film to have a happy ending.
6/8 participants also said that a flashback was not an effective opening for a romance film. The other two participants said that it could occasionally be effective.
6/8 participants said that they preferred a romance film to be set in the modern day. 1 participant did not mind and the other preferred the film to be set in another period.
When asked if a romance film has to be set in a romantic setting, 4 participants said yes and 4 said no.
7/8 participants said that they expected a romance film to hold the certification 12/12A while 1 participant said they expected it to be certified a 15.
