Questionairre

I conducted a questionnaire from 20 people to get feedback and more a background impression to what the audience think of films. I collected qualitative and quantitative data to get a statistics and rich data to help me with my research into my film. Here are a few of the main questions:

1. Are you male or female.
I asked this to see if films were genre specific. However this wouldn't make a difference. Most of the people I questioned were females anyway.

2. How old are you?
I think this question is of relevance because this would help me decide on the age certificate and to aim my film towards this age.

3. what is your favourite genre of film?
It was important to see what my audience's favourite genre was as they would be the ones to watch it so it's their opinion which counts. My results show me that 14 our of 20 people enjoyed thriller/horror the most. Most people circles More then 2 genres which shows romance the second highest. This question was then elaborated to why this would be your favourite. Most people commented on the scariness and unpredictable stereotype of thrillers. In my film I would want aspects to jump out and be scary.

4. which gene did you dislike the most and why?
Most people seemed to dislike musicals, western and action. I think this was because I aimed my questionnaire on 16 - 18 year old girls. This would have an impact on the genre as if i asked a male the least favourite is like to be romance.

5. Does the opening first two minutes of a film give a perception to the rest of the film?
I asked this question as I'm making a two minute film so I need the audiences opinion. This will help me decide What kind of footage to add. For example more action packed and the credits.

6. what way of advertising do you find most appealing when a film is advertised?
This is and important question because if I were to publish this film I would have know the best possible advertising scheme. The best advertising approach to films was bus advertisements and TV adverts.
