Title: Memories (working) Tag Line:  One man’s destruction is another’s retribution.

Synopsis: A man re-lives the tortured past of his childhood, where he received abuse through harmful and damaging relationships. This treatment has caused him to seek revenge on anyone and anything with no moral values or consequences as he has never been taught right from wrong and cannot comprehend his actions. However he is a clever individual driven by conflicting emotions of love and hate, this causes him to formulate a plan of destruction and hopefully retribution.

Key Genre Conventions: Red Herring-the woman in the toilet, she isn’t all she appears to be. Action-the action comes as a surprise but it will be constant throughout the film. MacGuffin-he seems driven by violence and revenge but he is really driven by love.

Target Audience Research - Focus Group Video

Target Audience Research-The Video

This is our video of our target audience research, using a focus group allows us to get gain feedback as to what people think of our idea and we can ask how they would change or improve our ideas. We asked questions to cover different areas of the process. This combines with our previous research to give us a wider picture of what audiences want us to give them. These are the questions we asked n our video.

1. Should the ideas we've presented be in the day or night?
2. What do you think the best idea is?
3. What do you think works in each idea?
4. Are there any shots or techniques that stand out in our ideas?
5. What do you think we could add into our ideas?
6. Could you suggest any good music or soundtracks to fit into our ideas? 
7. Is there anything we should change?
8. What could make the plot of our idea more effective? 

Although some of the questions have been worded differently or the other question has encompased the other question so was not needed to be asked.
 

Target Audience Research- Focus Group Video

Our 3 ideas for our focus group;

In our group we each came up with three different ideas then refined them to 3 final ideas which we proposed in our focus group video. We finally settled on Never Forgotten, Deceit and Torture, although the titles are subject to change.


Never Forgotten
Our first idea was Never forgotten. This idea follows the story of an obsessive  revenge driven man who will do anything to gain answers after his fathers death 10 years previous. In the picture we see the main character in his apartment with a carefully constructed web of information but he laves his apartment and arrives at a big corporation building where he has a private meeting with an employer who he seems to know more about than he lets on.



Deceit
Deceit was the second idea proposed and was a very experimental, unique idea. In this idea we see a badly treated mental patient who uses art to control and suppress her feelings but she is haunted by incomprehensible flashbacks which she can not understand.    
In these pictures we see one of the flashbacks that she doesn't understand as she cannot remember due to black outs but she is helped through the aid of pictures and props in her mind that open up windows into deeper memories and complex messages.

Torture
Torture was our favourite idea because of the way we could manipulate the visual effect and style. In this idea we recreated the story of a tortured young adult who takes comfort in acting in a child like way because his childhood was tainted with abuse and forced intelligence thus creating a psychopathic man with a playful side, a deadly combination when he is left to his own devices.

Primary Research

For my primary research I created a survey using www.surveymonkey.com and posted it on my blog to collect results to influence the final outcome of my thriller.

I first asked the age of my participants. This will help with target audience research as it gives the information of how popular thrillers are with young or old people and therefore what we should include. From my results I should be able to find out whether young people are into thrillers as much as older people so I can target the audience to suit the thriller.

My second question was another general question about where the people that took the survey live.

I wanted to find out how often people watch films because the more they watch films the better their judgement is likely to be although it is not guaranteed.

I wanted to find out if people liked thrillers or not, if they do enjoy thrillers then there results could be more useful to me whereas if they don't like thrillers they may be bias against thrillers and not give very helpful feedback.

The more people watch thriller movies, the more it increases their knowledge of thrillers. This helps me as they should know what they are talking about and have some idea of stereotypical thrillers and conventions.

I wanted to find the most popular sub genre thriller so we could bring it into our final idea so as to appeal the a wider audience .

By finding out which thrillers people enjoy we can gain an idea of how to formulate our own idea. We look at the sub genre, the time its set, the characters and gain a better understanding of what the audience want. Although on my last two questions someone decided to answer in a childish manor.

By finding out the thrillers that people didn't enjoy allows us to identify the problems and avoid them in our final idea.

I asked which conventions people believe are most important so we can adapt and use them in our ideas and i found that the most popular convention was to keep the audience on edge, so we will incorporate this into our final idea.
