As there are many different types of genres to choose from such as:
comedy
romance
sci-fi
action
adventure
horror
It was hard trying to decide what type of genre we would pick for our opening sequence so as a group we decided to ask 15 friends to answer a questionnaire regarding their favourite types of films.
Using secondary research i found that comedy is the top grossing film genre since 1995 till 2012 was comedy as it takes $44,792,158,044 gross and 23.48% of the total market share. However in close second were adventure films taking in £38,199,674,469 and a market share of 20.03%
This will have a large impact on our film genre choice as we want to produce a film which is well liked by audiences as it aids us to gain a larger audience instead a small amount who like the genre, this way we are able to reach out to more with a well favoured genre.

the results from are questionaire are as followed.
The results show that within the people who we asked the favourite genre was comedy and second favourite was action adventure. As a group we decided firstly that we would produce a comedy opening sequence. However we then thought that we may find it difficult to show the conventions of a comedy film in the opening sequence and decided that for the purpose of the task we would create a film which we could include the conventions and also make it exciting to watch. Therefore as a group we decided that we would produce an action adventure opening sequence as we felt we would be able to portray the genre more effectively and also we would be able to use a lot of the conventions such as fast pace action, a hero and quick cuts etc.
