Questionnaire Results

All the particapants we asked were aged 16-21 years old as they are our target audience. Almost all of the particapants said that their favourite genre was either comedy and horror. This helped us as it is reasonably easy to put elements of comedy and horror into a social-realism film. Not very many of them watch independant films which makes it harder for us to promote it as it is unlikely that many of them would be interested. A lot of people go to the cinemas at least once a month but they always go to mutliplexes which isn't helpful as ours wouldn't be shown in one. They all feel that teenagers are portrayed in the wrong way in the mdeia so we are trying to change that by showing them as strong and independant.

Film Poster

The girl character in the photo was going to play the original girl in the trailer although she was not reliable and couldnt make the dates we set to film on, so we changed the girl character. The photo is in black and white to portrays the bleak nature of social realism gritty down to earth sad endings unlike the fairy tales.The girl character in the photo is looking down and holding her belly indicatin the the audience that she may be pregnant. i am staring at jack in hatred whilst jack is just on the floor totally clueless on the whole situation. I am dressed 'in fashion' with chinos and plimsoles although jack is just in ripped tracksuit bottoms and a hoodie. This shows that i try look after myself and look smart however jack just isn't bothered with what he wears.

The critic used is from our film magazine 'Down 2 Earth'. We also used British Independant Film awards to rate the film as it is very prestigous and would help raise number of viewers. Also our film fits into that category. The link in the left hand corner of the poster is our production website. Certificate 15.
