What do you expect in general from a Crime Based film?
A good storyline, with suspense on who dunnit. Don't want all the answers in the first half of the film.To have a good plot with characters that seem real.nigga's getting shankedd!Suspense, Explosions, Guns, Thriller twistA misterious ending, which takes time to work out. lots of violence, guns, fights etc. or very sophisticated high-tech crime... or both. characters are usually darkly clothed and fairly agile. As for location, abandoned buildings, warehouses, rough looking places, like this: http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&ll=52.052095,1.154895&spn=0.008498,0.027037&t=h&z=16&layer=c&cb...
What sort of Characters would you expect to see in a crime film?
hero, cause you always have to have a good guy. CSI,'s so that they help with developing the plot. A head/lead detective to be in charge of proceedings.Characters that can be related to the real world. Most films should have a hero and a villain. It is nice if the villain is not reviled until the end.Niggas, black people, afgani people, some more blackies..A Mafia boss type character, Slightly crazy henchman, Clever well thought henchmanA good guy/team, a bad guy/team.The protagonist, a criminal, with 2 forces against them, the police and other criminal gangs. The reason you'd have police an...
Who do you expect to be the protagonist of the film? Would they be male or female?
Mainly male and would be the detective.The main character in the film could be either, but they need to be believable and appear to know what they are doing. big hench black dudeMale, Police officer or someone seeking revengeMaleUsually the protagonist is male, but a female protagonist would at least separate a film from the others. As said above, they would dress darkly, are agile, look grumpy most of the time, probably have stubble, dark hair and be of thin/muscular build.likely to be male, however there is a surge in female protagonists. Depends on the plot.A dude helping out a chick.they...
What sort of plot do you expect from a crime film?
Complex, so that you don't discover all at once. A plot with lots of twists and turns. and dummy leads.Either a murder or robbery. The story can then work round the way the crime is solved.some white boy betraying a nigga, so then the nigga shanks him and his family, including cats and dogs..Drug boss kills someone by mistake, 'Badass' family goes on revenge, said person comes very close to death nut escapes.either a drug deal or prostitution.Organised crime, specifically murder of someone of great importance. Along the way the protagonist will fight and kill nearly every ally of the impor...

From my questionnaire I am able to understand that most of the people thought that a male lead would be good for the genre I have picked in crime, they have also said that i should build up suspense and maybe link the film with gangs or drugs involved.  the questionnaire has allowed me to place parts in the film opening which would be expected by the audience watching the film.
