To find out who my audience are and what they want to see happen in the opening scheme of the movie i created a questionnaire in order to get answers to these questions. I made the questionnaire online and in order to get the answers/information i sent it to people i knew. I made sure the people i asked the questions to where different in terms of things like age, gender and anything which might lead to the information being too one sided.

These were the questions that we asked. The first 2 questions was to get an idea into who are target market was and what age we need to consider when we make our opening scene.
Question 3 was to see why people watch crime films, and what they like best about crime films. This was to just get an idea on what the typical view of a crime film is.
Number 4 was to see how important people ranked the following. You want the opening sequence to be up to standard and you want your audience to like it and so this was to see how they ranked the following.
Location is one of the most important things in film, and i wanted to get people's opinions on what they thought to be a acceptable location to use as the opening scene.
Question 6 was to find out what the people who i asked wanted to see in the opening scene. I wanted to get ideas and a general over view into what people expected. The choices were what was in my head at the time but new ones are always being thought of.
Question 7 is asking about props. Props are an important part of mise en scene in film making, and i wanted to make sure that i had the right props if i am to use some. So i wanted to see what people associate crime with.
Question 8 was all about the music. Nearly all films at the start have music in the background. This can be really faint music, or it can be really loudly, but like number 7, i wanted to see what type of music people represent crime with.
Number 9 isn't too important but it was useful to find out because if i ever needed to get any last minute inspiration i could look at the films that people wrote down and watch them.
The last question was so i know who to send the film to once it is done. This is important for film makers to find out because this can affect your target audience, and how you make the film.
