c) Amend your ideas based on the audience feedback received and complete a written summary explaining: findings, your response as the producer to the feedback, changes made and justification for changes.
After conducting an audience questionnaire I found that a large majority of people felt that one of the main conventions that make a zombie movie is blood, guns and a lot of action, also the fact that the undead infect the living by biting the living, another convention mentioned was the explanation of the zombie outbreak by an expert and also how long the transformation takes and ways to kill the zombies, the last convention talked about was how the survivors assemble to defeat or survive the threat.
Overall I got a good reception of my synopsis and it was said it was an interesting plot as there was a supernatural element to the story, I also asked if they thought paranormal causes could be the reason for an outbreak, most people said that this could be accepted as the reason for an outbreak as the 'paranormals' could posses or kill people and reanimate their bodies, making them them living dead, however one person disagreed with this saying they did not see the connection, and they thought it sounded more like an apocalypse rather than a zombie outbreak.
Personally I agree with what people expect from zombie movie conventions, so in my poster I will have to try and show some of these conventions to attract the correct audience and also make sure I have these conventions included in my plot, I will not be making any changes to my synopsis due to the response stating that "theres no connection between the paranormal and zombies" as I think this individual misunderstood how the living were turned into the undead, yet the other people I had interviewed thought that that this was possible, maybe a slight change I would make is to make it more clear in my synopsis of the connection between the paranormal and the zombies.
