This information that we have collected will influence our movie planning because comedy has a popular audience demand and it can be for anyone at any age. It will also help by telling us what to include in the storyboard of our film. It gives us ideas on what angles of the camera have a good comical effect, what story lines are most popular and also what people find funny and what they don't. It gives us a stereotype to comedy.

Hope you gained a lot of knowledge from this Blog entry
