My survey has been extremely helpful in making decisions easier. The comments that people left were also really helpful in giving me further details on how to make certain elements work in my film. For example, on person commented on question 7 a comment was referring to a James Bond film and how we didn't expect them to get punished for stealing the car. They also wrote about how the world of film is often unrealistic. This made me think about whether I wanted my film noir to resemble reality or a fake world. Idealy I want to recreate reality. However, when creating a fake world it's often easy to leave it fake. Not like reality at all, so it will be very interesting to see how real my film turns out. It's definitely something that I'm going to be thinking about when writing a script and storyboard.

52% answered that they were aged between 13 and 18. This tells me that I'm going to be getting most of my audience research from this age group, so it would be very wise to target this audience for my film noir.

# data[].attributes.body
Comedy and Romance drew with having 23.08% each. This tells me that the majority of my audience like to see both a bit of comedy and romance in the films that they watch. This gives me the idea of adding romance and comedy into my film noir, this way it will apeal to my audience.

3: Have you ever seen a Film Noir before?

# data[].attributes.body
53.85% said that they had no clue what a film noir. 26.92% said they didn't know what a film noir was at all. This tells me that around 81% didn't know what a film noir was. In order to fix this, I'm going to have to include some modern ideas into my film so that it is still relevant to my target audience. This way they will still be interested in watching my film without getting to bored/lost.

5: Are you happy with a female villain? 

# data[].attributes.body
96% answered that they were happy with a female villain. Only 1 person (4%) wrote that they weren't happy with a female villain. This tells me that having a Femme Fatale for the villain is going to work perfectly. People commented saying: "It's good. To often we sterotype men as the villains and that has a knock on effect on our society.", "Sometimes it feels harder to accept a woman being evil as you associate them with motherly figures etc. I like female villains as it reflects the real world, as scary as it is... as there are plenty of evil women among us in the world!", "Cruella Deville is a female villain and she did her job pretty well. As long as the role fits its good." Many more comments were just as positive as these about having a female villain. Unfortunatly the one person who disagreed with having a female villain didn't make any comments for me to reflect on.

6: Do you feel that music helps to create certain moods in a film?

# data[].attributes.body
96.15% answered that YES, music does help create different moods in film. One person responded that no, music has no effect on creating mood in film. This tells me that it would be the best option to include music in my film noir. I took to the comments to see what type of music people liked in films. One response read "Realistic music - I can't cope with over dramatic music when it's not a dramatic moment (or vice versa) - it needs to reflect the action on screen. I love Thomas Newman and classical music in films, and film soundtracks in general are often brilliant." another wrote "Music that creates the best atmosphere for the scene, preferably a purpose written score. Classical types of music usually does this however more contemporary music can have the same effect. Just as long as it fits with the scenes I'm not fussed!" These and many others are very valid points that I will be looking into when finding or writing music for my own film noir.

7: If a character does something bad, do you expect them to be punished?

7: If a character does something bad, do you expect them to be punished?

# data[].attributes.body
64% said that yes, they did expect a character to be punished for doing something bad. 36% responded that no, they didn't expect a character to be punished if that did something bad. From this research, I have come to the conclusion that it would be best to punish a character if they did something wrong. However, it would be quite interesting to go against this convention. One person commented "Depends on the film. For example, if Bond steals a car to save the country from a bombing (or whatever Bond does, not gonna lie, not that into Bond), then it seems silly for him to get in trouble for him stealing the car. Or, take Oceans... they all stole millions from Casinos but you don't expect them to get punished at the end. The world of film is crazy really, and more often than not, rather unrealistic. But we love it anyway :)" another wrote "It depends on the plot! It's only a story, after all. Unreal life sometimes the villains are caught and punished, sometimes they aren't. Probably depends on who we are to identify with in the film and what emotion we are to be left with at the end." Another response read "The matter feels more closed when someone is punished." After reading these comments I'm caught between which side to choose. It will be interesting to see what happens.

53.85% said that they didn't like black and white films. 46.15% said that they did like black and white films. These are very close statistics. However, just over half said that they didn't like black and white films. So I took to the comments section to see the reasoning behind people's answers. The majority of the comments were all surprisingly positive about black and white. Many didn't have a problem with it at all. For example, one answer wrote: "The colour doesn't distract you - you see what there is. Plus it's old, it's interesting watching things in black and white, you almost see things completely different to than you would in colour". Another who wasn't in favour or the black and white wrote: "Haven't seen one before". Because of these mixed answers I now have flexability of whether my film is in black and white or colour
