Main Task 2: Choosing your genre

1. http://www.calstatela.edu/faculty/sfischo/media3.html
I used this website and looked at the first table which shows the percentage of how popular each genre is. I found that the top four choices were:



1. Drama - 30.7%
2. Action Adventure - 16.2%
3. Romance - 12.4%
4. Comedy - 10.5%

This website has a pie chart, which shows all the different movie genres and how popular they were in 2009. Comedy is the most popular and Drama is the third most popular.

2. Using this information and from looking around other websites, we have chosen the genre of Romantic Comedy. We chose to do this because we saw from our research that comedy was quite a popular choice however we felt that doing a comedy might be too difficult to make. We also liked the idea of a Romantic Comedy as from our questionnaires we got feedback that people enjoyed or wanted to see more Romantic Comedies. Drama and Horror were also popular choices however we didnt think they'd be very easy to show in the two minute opening sequence.


3. This is our questionnaire that we created. We used the feedback we got to finalise our decision on making a romantic comedy.




The feedback showed that Romantic Comedies were quite a popular choice and some people wanted to see more of. We also enjoy Romantic comedies ourselves and thought it would be a good idea to chose this genre for our opening sequence.
