All of our responses were from students in the 16-18 age range, this is our main target market.

We had 3 male respondents and 10 female respondents. This could create slight bias in the

results, however we did not think this would affect our results because of the types of

questions we were asking.

All male respondents said their favourite film genre was action/adventure or horror. Female

respondents chose a mix of answers, half of them chose drama/rom-com, and the other half

chose horror/thriller films.

From these responses we could gather that if we were to actually release this film it should

definitely be distributed on DVD.

We have opted to locate our film in a school because it is easily accessible to us as well as the fact that the school environment is a common ground for bullying which is a

major part of our film.

• Strange men• Creepy/haunted children• Psychopath• People with psychological disorders (eg: schizophrenia)• People talking to themselves• Hero/heroin• Murderer and allies• Vulnerable person• People on drugs
