Meet My Audience

I have showed my audience for my open sequence, on powerpoint on this slide it shows my audiences interests and some hobbies. 
In addition to that I have a Vox-Pop of people who I asked a series of questions to in relation to British Social Realism and my opening sequence.

In my Vox-Pop the questions I asked in relation to British Social Realsim and my openeing sequence were;

1) Have you watched a BSR film ? Which one ? What did you Think of it ?
Many people who had answered this question had watched 'This is England', I believe it was four out of ten respondents that had said they had seen this film. one of the girls had thought that it was very disturbing and that it definitely shows a sense of bad communtity in England, it expolits parts that people have no idea about. Other respondents for This is England had said that it was a really good film, and shows how life is actaully like in England. Some people had said they had seen 'Four Lions' and their feedback was that it was very different to the genre that BRS follows however it does fill the ideology of showing films on sensitive topics such as Terroism. Another film that people had seen would be 'Fish Tank' they has said that it was good and it does show how people can be abused. Finally some people had said that they had seen Kidulthood and said that it was very alike to what appears in the news and that it was very good film.

2) Have you expereinced any stories which you are inspired by whilst watching a BSR film ?
All the participants in the vox-pop had responded by saying they haven't exprienced any stories within the BSR film. However they did reply that the experineces in the films are connected and related to the News, such as drugs, rape, murder, violence are all portrayed into BSR, I believe 4 out of 10 said that this.

3) The storyline for my film will be; a girl being abused by her boyfriend in a council estate being put on drugs and she is trying to find an escape. What are your thoughts on this ? Is it realistic enough to be a BSR film?
Some respondents had replied that it was a good storyline, however they had suggested some improvements and suggestions such as that we need to be careful not to exaggerate the situation or themes being displayed within the film, we have to be precise and make people believe that this is real and not a joke. One person has said that the storyline raises awarness to the audience and people. The majority of people had agreed with our storyline and just gave us some hints such as taking the themes serioulsy and to show a clear age gap maybe between the girl and her boyfriend.

4) What could I change or add to that?
One person had siggested that their should be a distingushed age gap between the girl and boy. and just to make sure we cover the themes effectively to present to the audience.

5) What kind of things would you expect to be viewing in a BSR film?
A load of people had replied by saying that they would expect to see violence and drugs maybe, racsim. Some of them said that they would expect to see gang crime and sex perhaps as they are usally typically portrayed in a BSR film.

6) What type of issues would you prefer to watch?
This answer that people had replied had been simmliar to the previous question, violence, abuse, foul language which is always in BSR films.

7) Do you feel it is imporatnat to relate to a BSR film?
One viewer had agreed with this by saying that if kids watch this, they may feel like they are not alone, not isolated that it happens to other people, its not just them in this situation. Any viewer said it is important as even if you are personally not experinecing these situations you can understand them and beware of these issues. Another person had said that it may inspire people to get out and make something of their lives and that there is a way to get out of this situation, you are not stuck init forever.
