Audience Research Focus Group Meeting Analysis

After meeting with our focus group, we have decided to remove, modify or add certain elements to our film

Originally we were going to involve some sort of car chase scene for when our charecters were talking about the plan, however Joe and Megan agreed that that would not be practicle in the time we have to draft, shoot and edit our film, we would also have to find someone to drive for us, they may charge for fuel money which would add to cost production. We were keen on using weapons in the film, as it is an essential entity in most crime films, Zac was able to suggest a few places where we could borrow / rent a few of these said weapons, Jay added that they should be de-activated as to reduce cost and danger on set, not to mention the fact that it is illegal to use working weapons, making our risk assesment smaller. Originally we had planned for our cast to be a mixture of male and female actors, as we assumed this would be more appealing to the audience with a majority of males, however, Joe explained that from past viewing of movies, he prefered an all male cast as it helped him relate to the characters, which increased his enjoyment of the film, he also pointed out that crime films seldom include many women at all, so if ours were too, then the authenticity of it would be lowered alot.
