Further audience research: Title of our film

After conducting a small survey based upon our films title, we handed out 10 small checklists to 10 participants, who gladly took part in order to contribute to our project. After consent, they completed their personal opinions upon our title's name, therefore then contributing to our psychological thriller piece. The checklist looked like this:

We aimed to make the sample representative, so a range of people could be included in this. Therefore, a range of different peoples values/opinions could be valued, and be reflected upon this. For example, we asked both male and female, as well as people we knew and didn't - so the data would not be researcher bias - as well as a range of ages, such as our teacher completing one form. Therefore, our data would be of a higher range. The results were of:

Presented in a bar chart, it clearly shows our results, with both Crimson Shadows and Rouge recieving 3; Midnight's Child 2; and both The Lost One's and Distortion with 1.

Therefore, 'Crimson Shadows' and 'Rouge' have a draw. From this, we have decided to personally choose as a team the title of our film, and have decided on 'Rouge' together, due to this being more mysterious. It is not obvious to what the narrative will follow, as the french term of 'red' could represent and follow anything. The typical use of red also follows blood, therefore hinting at horror, although we are diverse from this genre. Added to this, the iconic use of red is of the red cloak, on top of the use of red within almost every clip within our piece throughout. Overall, 'Rouge' is the ideal option, and our audience research was overall a success.

I also recognise that the film 'Rouge' already exists, from Krzysztof Kieslowski's 1994 work based on the trilogy of the three colours. However, this is diverse and little known, and as as our piece is not actually being produced as a film, I do not think this matters
