How has our research informed our planning?

As we are designing/finishing our storyboard, we have been reflecting on the research that has informed our planning. Our planning has been majorly influenced through our audience research as we based our findings on what we should create. People generally wanted a psychological thriller that was set in realistic locations. This gave us an idea to create a spooky and twisted story that was based around the sub-genre of a crime thriller. This is because it includes suspense and tension and our audience wanted something new and exiting. They also quoted: " We want a film hat unravels and has a gripping story". This made us go back to the genres of thriller and we decided that crime best suited our audience research. As we looked into the genre crime thriller we were influenced to base our opening around a murder or kidnapping, which has now evolved into our storyboard of a girl being trapped in a man's house.
