We did this to find out if our ideas met our target audiences expectations. The opening is a rom-com, so we based our target audience on teenagers and young adults. The majority of people we asked were females. They gave a more positive result, whereas the men we asked weren't really into rom-coms.
"Our film is about a girl who goes on dodgy dates in the beginning, hoping to find her match, but epically fails every single time. In the end; she meets the boy who she’s supposed to be with, but do things work out?"
Firstly, we asked how old the participant was and we got a result of mainly 16-20 year olds. We got the odd 30+ and 21-29 year olds. This therefore shows that our scenario is more fitting for young adults and teenagers. We asked what film genre they preferred and they did say action or thriller/horror; which is kind of bad as they're answering questions for a rom-com.
We then asked what film they had last seen and it was mainly the films that had been newly released on DVD or had just been released in the cinemas. The most common film was "The Avengers Assemble" or "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2". I think both are good examples, as one does have comedic traits in and the other is a love story. But they both include action, which our opening is lacking.
We then asked the participants if they thought that the title "Along Came Billy" was fitting for the story line. Everybody agreed with this, thinking that it was very fitting. This is good for us because we also thought that it was very fitting towards the story line and then we didn't have to come up with anything else. We then asked if any of the participants had seen "Along Came Polly". The majority of the partakers said they hadn't; but they had heard of it and identified it from our film title.
We agreed that "Along Came Billy" was a fitting film title, as Emily wasn't expecting Billy to show up in her life; but then he comes along unexpectedly.
