Chart to genre popularity spread among older audiences

W h e n c o m p a r e d w i t h t h e previous chart, we can see a different spread of genre taste. Maturity has meant that s e r i o u s g e n r e ’ s s u c h a s ‘romantic’ and ‘drama’ are more popular. This is stereotypical of the older generation.

Chart to show younger audience priorities

From this chart we can see that actors and story are more important to a young audience. This can be expected because a younger audience is less appreciative of the technical aspects such as cinematography, soundtrack and editing and are instead influenced by the more obvious elements of films; explosions, visual effects, nudity, high profile actors etc.

music

We asked our participants how important non-diegetic music was to them on a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the most important. We found the result a lot more surprising as it clearly shows that it is more important than we first thought. This means we are planning to include a lot more music in our final piece and spend a lot more time on producing an original score and adding non-diegetic music to our film.
