It does however target both genders, we aimed it a women because of the strong female leads and we aimed it at males because of the action and thriller in it.

  Planning stage • Oncewe came up with an idea for the storyline we made a questionnaire and asked people what they thought about it. We also asked if there are any similar movies they could think of and if they would watch it. The storyline was on the back of questionnaire so the people could take their time in answering. • From the answers to this questionnaire we found that after reading the plot most of the people asked would go and watch our movie. We also found that some could think of similar movie to our one which helped us when we were doing our independent research

  Planning stage • Theresults we got from that questionnaire helped us to look at what changes needed to be made once we began creating the movie. We also used the feedback on the question of could they think of any movie that matched our one to use in our independent research. We used this to compare aspects our movie and to also find conventions of the thriller genre and that types of movies.

  Creating stage • Duringcreating our movie we made a few changes due to the first questionnaire showing that some people were confused with some parts of the storyline. To improve that we decided to give the main character a background story in the form of a news report from the past, to show this we made some of the shots black and white as that’s how most scenes from the past are shown in other movies. We also added a meeting scene to show why the main character was hired to kill me man in black.

We also asked them what changes we could make to make the film better. Most of the answers said we required more sound in the movie which we were aware of all ready.

Making a powerful female lead who did something bad for good reasons was something that hasn't been done in many movies yet. • We also made one last questionnaire to ask peoples opinions on the finished film. This was a short questionnaire to just see what they though of our movie and if they would go and see it in the cinema or watch it online.
