We asked a number of questions to students who had just reacted to a super hero film. These questions would relate to the films plot and and the conventions of the genre. The overall response was lacking detail but we did get the answers that we were looking for. The scene we chose was from "the Avengers Age of Ultron"  and was the introduction of the characters with them all fighting in a very iconic super hero scene. They all use different powers to fight their enemies which allowed us to come up with different sorts of questions involving the plot and their preferred type of character. This could help us decide what type of hero we want our film to be based on and what she or he has to go through in an opening scene. We will use this feedback from these 4 students and see if we can try to meet their expectations of a super hero film. However, we do believe that following in their idea of a super hero film may be unpractical and not original so some concepts and ideas will be monitored and changed to fit our skill and what we think will be original within the genre. They seem to like characters with adavanced technology like "tony stark" but creating something like that in our student film seems difficult and there much easier ways to make a good superhero films. When they talked about love and swearing, thought this was actually a promising point and we decided that we will not use any sort of love story and keep dialogue simple and appropriate to the situation. Over all we are using their opinions to certain extent but the majority our film will folow their profile of the superhero genre.
