High Overlords Media Logo?

While at home, i thought i could make a small extra contribution to the blog by making a little logo for us. I played around with several idea's, knowing i would want a throne in the image. 
 I also liked the idea of implementing the galaxy texture into the logo, as i thought it made it a little more interesting. I finally decided on the little circle you see below. A simple but elegant logo that adds a small bit of creativeness to our page.

Audience Questionnaire Response Analysis




These are the results that we received after posting our audience questionnaire on Facebook. From this, we can see that 60% of participants were between the ages of 10 and 19, which is one of our main target audiences. This might imply that our film is indeed suited to our target audience given that they were the most prominent responders. Furthermore, I can see that many of the respondents are students, who were also one of our main target audiences. These students gave mostly positive feedback to the script we presented them with, which would imply that our attempts to appeal to this target audience were successful. Most people thought that the location for our film should be some kind of abandoned building, which is exactly what we already had in mind. Likewise, most people agreed with our age rating, with a huge 80% of people saying that it should have a 15 certificate, which is what we already planned to give it. Respondents also agreed with our ideas for clothing, music/sound, and most were correct about its genre. It is also interesting to note that 'Scream' and 'Saw' were mentioned as similar films; which are two of the films that we researched.
Most importantly though, almost everyone believed that our target audience would be students and thrill enthusiasts; which is exactly correct. This would imply to us that our script is very suitable and appealing to the target audience, and alteration is therefore not necessary. Feedback seems to be generally positive. Hence, we can see from this that our film is very appropriated for the target audience, and we are unlikely to be required to rethink any of our ideas or plot-lines; which is excellent news.
