target audience research. was never going to be easy.

I'm going to Highlight every post about research in blood red, enjoy!

I suppose i could have done this alot better. instead of creating servays or arnsir quizzes for people to arnsir i just randomly approached people with a notebook and asked them about my genre...didn't work that well to be honest.
but eventually i got some honest arnsirs, not form the hustle and bustle of Goosey fair but in the calm of an average Friday afternoon in Tavistock, i also asked a few people on the following Saturday.


"what comes to your mind when i mentions psychological thriller, and why would you watch one?"


was my question i repeated about 34 times, i varied my age range for those who i asked but younger pedestrians aren't as willing to talk to a stranger with a notebook and a Mohawk.


i got a variety of arnsirs mostly positive but some people thinking i meant horror.
here are some of the responses i got...


"they give you something to concentrate on during the movie, they use puzzles and mind tricks instead of the average gunfight with an attack helicopter scene"


"not a huge fan myself but id watch one if it was highly recommended kind of thing you'd watch if u wanted a puzzle right?"


"why you asking me?"


"I'm not too fond of em, just used to scare young children ain't they? stuff like saw, bl**dy horrible"


"have to say, at times there alright but they're not for the faint of heart, for example an illiterate teen might watch it and not know what the story line was, more adult viewing i think..."


"if you can give me an example i could get back to you on that"


This last comment was a valid point, i had nothing to compare my movie to, how would i get a decent response if i didn't have an example. all in all i got about 18 comments out of around 30 people i asked, people arn't to fond of engaging in a conversation with me...
...don't blame them.
