audience are to actually watching the genre.

There is a mixed range between how often people watch social realism films.

This gives me the idea that some of my audience are not very interested to watch the genre so i need to investigate carefully the answers to question nine to why there is this lack of interest to watch the genre and how i can increase

and improve the frequency of viewing.Thursday, 10 January 13

understanding of actual life's’, ‘Yes as it shows stuff that can actually happen which is scary’, ‘Yes as some contain to little action’, ‘No because i can relate better to real life

situations (unlike hollywood films)’.My audience is split half and half whether anything puts them

off social realism.The results are divided, some people completely enjoy the genre whereas some people find specific things off

putting and dis-attracts them to the genre.

work out what i can do to improve it. Thursday, 10 January 13

on’, Yes i think its a genre with a loyal audience who understand the talented film makers behind them’, ‘Yes i

will, because i can relate to some issues that are trying to be portrayed’.

feel they can relate to the genre as it helps them understand certain aspect of real life however there is a

small amount that are not to keen to.Thursday, 10 January 13

This enables me to be able to focus on the small group of people that wouldn't bother to watch another social

realism film and i can find out why they wouldn't which i could try to improve in my film so that i can try to persuade them to watch them more in the future.
