The audience shall expect to see the villain wearing black clothing, and the score of the film to have a tense tone. The film is also expected to be set in an urban city location. We shall use our questionnaire results to aim our film at a male audience. We shall ensure the villain is shown in black clothing and the location shall be an urban setting. Furthermore, the score originally composed for the film shall be tense.
