Additional Research :)

Since we are making a Teen film which explores teen issues we decided to do a survey asking our intended audience (teenagers, 15+) about their thoughts and their prefrences. We asked approximately 30 people in our sixth form common room to fill out our survey:

Two thirds of people asked watched many teen films, and the remainder still watched Teen movies, although less frequently. When asked if they'd rather prefer comedy or thriller, most circled comedy, although almost all confessed that 'It would depend on their mood'. However despite this when asked would a film focusing on teenage issues be improved using aspects of thriller or comedy; the vast majority said that it would be improved by the thriller treatment, and one volunteer stated "If it was comedy, it would be sickeningly cheesy" and most disliked films which revolved around teenage problems.
These results supported our main idea for our film opening. We will be making a film focusing on bullying and teenage issues, although we will be making it more dynamic and interesting by using concepts from psychological thrillers. Our target audience is also interested in Teen movies, and this gives us an incentive to stick with this genre.
