Results

We collected all the questionnaires after they were filmed and presented the results in a graph so that it was easier to see which sections were most preferred by the audience: i prefer presenting results in graph context as it makes a visually easier to understand.

The results we got from our questionnaire was that from the title 'Train Affairs' many people thought and knew that the film was going to be about two people falling in love on a train; the title was just too obvious and gives the film plot away. 

95% of the people got the genre for our film correct of it being a romantic comedy. Most people said that they would like to see either a train, train station or a clip of something that gives a hint of the film being about trains. Majority of the audience would like there to be a happy and cheerful sound played so that the audience can feel that comedy genre. 

When people started to answer the second page of the questionnaire most of them thought that the plot of the film was good and that they would probably go to see the film. However the title choice that was selected the most was 'Delayed' which resulted in our title name being changed from 'Train Affairs' to 'Delayed'.

30% of the people said that they would definitely go to see this film while 55% said they would maybe. Only 25% of the people didn't like this film plot which made us confident in our film as many people quite liked it.

Overall from our primary evidence we found out that the plot and the genre of the film is good and people would actually want to go and see the film this gave us a positive sign. However, the title was the only part in which the audience felt 'Delayed' was better than 'Train Affairs'. To be honest, i prefer 'Delayed' as a title name as it doesn't give the film plot away so easily and sounds more interesting

Primary Audience Research

My group and i decided to do some primary audience research by creating a questionnaire based on our title sequence and film plot. We wanted to do some primary audience research as we wanted to know other people's opinions on our film title and their opinion on the film plot. Here is the questionnaire we created on Microsoft Word. We gave out our questionnaires to twenty-two people. So that our results were not biased we carried this questionnaire outside a shopping centre.

Typography For Train Affairs

To find a suitable font title for our title for the film we went on a copyright free website ''Dafont'' and looked at some fonts that we could consider using in our title sequence. Here are some fonts we selected and felt that it worked well with the storyline.

 
 
                                 

The feedback we got from Sinead when we showed these titles was that some of them didnt work well with the RomCom genre. For example the third, fourth and ninth titles represent more of the action genre than RomCom. The first title she felt looked a bit too formal conveying a romantic drama film. This feedback we took into consideration as then we had a rough idea of what title we will use.

Typography

Today's lesson started off by Leanne going through the importance of typography and design and looking at the typography of titles in Catch Me if You Can, Lord of the War and Forest Gump title sequences.

My notes
-Typography in 'Catch Me if You Can'

• Typewriting style- connotates hand written checks
• Title being Serif and names being San-serif connotating that there are two characters. The first character being formal(sheriff) and the second being informal and escaping away as the text is changing forms and being able to disguise.
• Soul Bass influence-colours and block shapes
• Smooth and bold movement of typography
• Mysterious and detective genre related
• Titles are interwoven to fabric of title sequence

                                      

-Typography in 'Lord of the War'

• Sharp
• Masculine
• Block and capital typography
• Action genre
• Titles are subtle-not too big of a font
• Titles are kept to the sides so that the background sequence is not disrupted.

                                      

-Typography in 'Forest Gump'

• Serif
• Timeless-there is no period of time
• Typed in classic quality style
• The white feather and text connotating the impression of the film being peaceful, calming and smooth.
• Font text is centre aligned- old style text placement
• High grammer used- capital letters on the beginning of each title
• subtle and gentle text as it is fading in and out

                                      

Looking at typography really helped me understand in how the typography of titles in the title sequence link well with the genre. By looking at the typography in various film titles gave me an idea of how the typography in our title sequence should be like so that it flows with the romcom genre smoothly.

After we had looked at typography, with Leanne, the group and i went through our idea of title sequence showing our rough storyboards. The feedback we got from her was that it was not particularly clear and didn't really link well with the title. Due to Hayley not being in this lesson, Aaron and i decided to improve our idea on Friday in Emily's lesson so that we can decide upon an idea as a group.
