Qualitative data analysis
1. From the feedback within my vox pop I found out that when my audience think of 'British social realism' majority of them understand the genre quite well and have a good understanding of it, very similar to what it actually is. This connotes that my film will appeal to my target audience as majority of them are familiar with the idea of 'British social realism' and also highlights the fact that they're perhaps interested in this genre.
2. I found out that my audience tend to watch British social realist that are more recent such as; Adulthood, Kidulthood, Shank, 4,3,2,1, Fish Tank and so on. This connotes that perhaps the Era within my film has to be portrayed "modern", obviously so that the audience appeal to it. I've also noticed that the main characters in most of these films are seen to be quite young, mainly teenagers, Connoting that if I include similar aged characters within my film, my target audience will be able to relate to them better and their lifestyle (uses and and gratifications of personal identity).
3. The themes and situations my target audience think of when they hear of the genre 'British social realism' are often; Drugs, violence, Alcohol etc. By identifying this we have found out the expectations of the audience, this way we can include the situations that the audience want and expect.
4. One of the most important bit of information i received from the vox pop is what the audience thought of my initial idea. I asked the audience what they thought of my narrative and majority of them replied positively, for instance; "Powerful narrative", "Good storyline" and so on. This connotes that my target audience will appeal to my film and are interested within the storyline. Knowing this encouraged me to keep my idea how it is and made me much more confident on carrying the project out.
5. Overall this feedback was most definitely helpful to me and my partner as it allowed us to sum up our final idea and base it on what the audience want, this way we can please their expectations.
