When asking 20 people whether they knew of French new wave cinema, only 2 people said yes, that they did. This may not seem promising however when making my trailer, I feel I do not need someone to know of 'French new wave' to understand the concept but to appreciate it. Although it would be preferable, I am not aiming my trailer at a broad audience but people who know of/appreciate the niche. This therefore gave me the idea of creating a presentation in order to introduce a group of people into the French New Wave genre. By doing this I could pin-point the type of people who would be intrigued and interested by it and the people who were not so. Overall I could therefore get one step closer to creating a satisfactory film trailer to hail in my appropriate target audience.
When asking 20 people what was their view on Independent films 4 people associated them with a 'low-budget'. 7 people believed that it was better that the 'big-budget- films and linking in with this 2 people thought they had deep meanings; controversially 7 other people thought that independent films just don't interest them. These findings did sway me and I believe that I am now realising how hard it is to engage an audience into a low budget independent film.
These findings have showed me how there is only so much media coverage of small independent films and that there is a huge metaphorical 'Hollywood' umbrella stopping them from getting the attention they deserve. In society today it is only the big blockbusters that interest people and it is very hard for any small independent films to get a foot in edgeways.
