What do you think of our idea?

Our Idea is as it’s only a 2 Minute opening we were thinking of having a suspense type of title-sequence and then showing a similar theme throughout, having a girl running in a building she’s afraid of her past coming back in her life. This is shown in her body language and facial expressions effectively, creating suspense for the audience continuously. Our locations would be very effective, as having west fields as the background scenery this would engage with our audience we feel. Then we have a train scene, were the girl goes back and looks for the past but audience are unable to identify the person, there not aware of who he is, why he’s there and what he wants. And we leave it as that, only having 2-minute opening sequence.

Good/Bad

If bad how could we improve on our idea to allow the audience to engage with it? 

What we wanted to Identify

We made these series of questionnaires and had given it to diverse students between the age of 13-18 this is so we capture diverse opinions which would help us in developing our idea. We have given a few open and close questions so we can clearly see what the audiences would prefer and like. As this would be meeting their aims being part of the socio demographics, and therefore would move them to be engaged into our production. Asking the audience on the type of genre is vital as we could take this on board seeing the most popular one and making our decision upon teen drama, we could develop areas in which we can add. Our questionnaire is consisted of having the audience gaze upon our idea, this is beneficial as they can identify the type of clip we want to deliver. Below this we have asked whether they think it's good or bad or if they can add any more ideas which would enhance in our ideas etc. We asked questions whilst they were filling it in and we looked for people who were free and weren't busy as we wanted valid and honest opinions, because we can't afford to have false ones as this may fail in gaining true responses.
