Change of Plan and Survey Results

After a discussion with the group, we decided to change our idea for our coursework completely. We are sticking with the idea of an indie/comedy type film due to the results of our surveys (see below) but we're now playing heavily on the shots as opposed to the narrative.
We are currently finalising our storyboard, but now have a solid idea for our coursework.
It will be set in our local sweet shop which is very old fashioned and the jars of sweets will help create fantastic shots.
Depending on the time we are able to get the shop, we'll either film it opening, closing or during the working day and our character will then be cleaning and sorting out the shop. The credits will be made out of sweets.
The soundtrack will begin non-diegetic which will appear as the girl listening to it, as she's interrupted, she removes her headphones and the song becomes diegetic. The song we will use subverts to our character as it is a heavy rap song.
