Focus Group Findings #2

Based on the responses I recieved from my second questionnaire - I now feel comfortable in my knowledge of the genre, and feel more than happy to continue on to the planning stage of my production.

The answers I have recieved were what I expected and play strongly to my visions of my production. Firstly, when asked, everyone in my Focus Group stated that they would expect some kind of outcast entity as the main character; some even pointed out (my personal opinion) that to have more than one companion more often than not distracts you from the Protagonist. This means that planning my characters is now 100000% easier.
Next up, my group pointed out that Symbolism was a key concept and responded well to the idea of it's inclusion in my production. They also stated that within the first 5-7 minutes, they would expect to:

1. Be acquainted with the Protagonist and his day-to-day life
2. Understand the idea around which the film will be made 
3. To be "swooned" by the camera shots

These criteria will now be at the foundation of my planning stage, and have given me a structure by which to go about my pre-production work.

Finally - The group divided on opinion of the Protagonist proclaiming that he should be a lovable character but remain unhinged. This to me made zero sense. My Protagonist will instead remain untoward creepy, with a likable exterior.
