Audience Research Focus Group Meeting Analysis

All of our focus group found 'The Usual Suspects' uninteresting; it was clear from our focus group research that it just didn't grab their attention,  I think it was not nessiccarly the lack of people, as Arlington Road didnt showcase people a great deal, but our focus group still all found it interesting. Rich said that there was a lot more going on, and Emma thought it was quirky. We have now decided to make our opening sequence interesting and intense to ensure we involve the audience straight away. Lauren liked the idea of using the family, and thought it makes the storyline more traumatic, we also felt this way, and so are going to defiantly use the theme of family throughout the film. We also want to make sure that our title sequence is creepy and has a dark and sinister edge to it, this would ensure the audiences understanding of our genre.
