From these results I concluded that the majority of people preferred a comedy genre, although I am going to use a romance genre and so I will need to change my target audience in order to attract customers. The most popular choice for main characters was a male main character and my film will include half a male and half a female main character. The audience research shows that the audience were indifferent about how fast or slow or any introductions made within the first 3 minutes and I think this is due to the fact that it depends on the film genre and so it was not obvious to which genre I was asking the question. It is shown that the audience were annoyed by cliff-hangers which gives me the idea I should use one as although they were annoyed, they were annoyed as they wanted to continue to watch, my general idea will be to involve a cliff hanger which reveals the main character at the end of my three minute clip. A further conclusion to be made is that the cast of the film are very important in whether or not the person will watch or enjoy the film and so especially as my main characters will be in a relationship it is important for the audience to desire or be jealous of at least one of these characters.
