Research & Planning: IMDB Research

I have had a look at some lists on the IMDB website. I have found out some very useful information about the most popular comedies and romances, as well as what films certain genders like to see. This will help me when it comes to producing my own film trailer for my chosen genre; romantic comedy.

Top 20 Comedy movies on IMDB (2013)

Top 20 Romance movies on IMDB (2013)

Top Rom-Com movies as chosen by a female viewer

Top 20 Rom-Com movies as chosen by a male viewer

From what I can see, there seems to be a consistent balance between romance and comedy in rom-com films that appear in both male and females' top 20 rom-com films. I have also noticed that a lot of the movies that showed up in our audience questionnaire also appeared high up on the list - which is very promising. From this I will speak with my group partner and discuss how we may make our trailer balanced in terms of romantic and comedic scenes.
