Popularity of your genre?

Women had some interest but only if the hero was very muscley as they wanted some eye candy. Men wanted the traditional shoot it up man with lots of power but who was very calm. Our genre is massively popular with men so we need to keep it masculine

2. What surprised you? Did you get any new information?

Everyone wanted horses and said they would show some interest but are likely to judge it in the first few minutes. So due to the genetic answers we got, we think it is a good idea to go for a more modern view, this with a modern type biker gang as the group in the start. Our hero is going to be very masculine still but have a modern style but some traditional aspects of a Stetson but still black skinny jeans.

3. How will you use this in your production?

(Bullet point at any changes)

- We questioned many people about times of day on which they expect some setting shots and they said dusk, we decided to have a shot of our hero coming out of the pub at dusk

- We are changing our time laps location to a smaller location with less busy traffic, as the audience wanted a small traditional town. This will show how little activity goes on and how this hero taking down the people who rule the town is a massive thing in such a little town.

- A lot of people wanted horses, we considered using them before but thought it was odd.
