Primary research
We created a vox pop as we felt that we could get the most out of the information as we receive feedback from a wide range of people.
Results
Most people knew what a British social realism was but others had no idea that BSR was genre, therefore i showed them my trailer, which i created by mashing up some BSR trailers. This helped people get a rough idea to answer some more questions for me.
I then asked different people to define BSR to me most said that they show the reality of living in Britain, one answer that stood out was someone who said it shows what Hollywood doesn't.
I was also shocked about the amount of people who have seen adulthood, kidulthood and attack the block as they are BSR. This shows people watch BSR even though they are un-aware what genre it is, however i was also shocked that people who answered different questions haven't seen any off the BSR which were distributed by big companies.
I also asked people what would they put into their story if they had to create a BSR, overall people said they would create something that shows both sides of whats happening as they believe people judge people without knowing their story which i think is a good idea to change the representation of Britain and BSR being negative.
Another question was what issues do you feel go on in modern day, most people said drugs, alcohol and sex which is beyond common in our generation however their are other important issues which someone outlined in the video as being gun crime and knife crime, i feel that each issue that could be dealt with all are equally important.
We also asked people what issues they would expect to see in a BSR, they mainly replied with negative answers such as violence and drugs. I feel that we could possible make our opening sequence challenge this idea to make people aware that not all issues are negative their just shown to be realistic.
Leading from this question i then asked what issues do you feel go on in modern day and the general response again was drugs and poverty. I feel these response have come from what people see and walking around London we see a lot of homeless people and we see young teens taking drugs.
Peoples view on the locations was all the same as they expected run down places such as estates and alleys. This is a very common view however this could be challenged as some estates are not all bad or to be what people expect.
Something i feel that would help me and Ella was the question about what grabs your attention. Peoples response were something that happens out of the blue and un-expected. I feel this could be done in the genre of BSR as it would be realistic as most things in the characters like would happen un-expected.
In terms of our idea the feedback was very helpful as we didn't have much of a vision but peoples views help us. People thought our idea was different and something that could happen to someone easily in modern day but the also thought that it would be un-realistic and they felt that the situation could be more extreme and focus on one issue to may it more dramatic and intense.
We asked people what would they put in a BSR if they had to create a movie, their responses focused on one issue which would be easy to connote to the audience. But they would do this is a cross-cutting effect between two characters which i think is a good idea to show two views of a the same lifestyle.

Meet my audience
I then created my perfect target audience, i used the research to make my idea fit for one person. I chose a boy due to the stereotype of boys being more into the idea of violence and abusive relationships.

How has it helped?
The research has helped develop our idea a before we started we had no idea where or what to do with our idea. The research has helped my understand my audience more to the point where i know what kind of things would grab their attention and what issues they feel they can relate more to. Asking the audience about our idea has helped me developed the idea into a better shape as we know what we could possible involve in the idea to make people want to watch the rest of the movie after the opening. However i still believe we could expand and develop more on our idea as we could make the situation more extreme (as the audience research shows) but encode the message into the text.
I also feel that i understand BSR more know as i have taken peoples views and ideas in, I take inspiration from their ideas.
From the feedback i think i would like to make our idea less complex as we asked people what they thought of our idea and we received feedback such as it being to complex and un-realstic. I agree with their views as looking at our idea know it would be hard to fit that much in to an opening sequence to make the audience want more.
I also feel peoples view are different to mine and Ella's which is interesting as it helps us make our idea more verstile to the audience to attract as many people as we can and create information which will help people relate to or just realise how life can be for people.
I think me and Ella have a lot of room to improve our idea as the audience researched helped us look more into our idea and break it down.
