Qusetionnaire

A questionnaire is a vital part of any research. It will give you important information about what kind of film genre is popular, what type of actors are popular and various other information. Although before you make a questionnaire you must decide on your target audience. This is because if you want to make a film that would be seen as mainstream, you would go out and ask a different section of the audience. You would focus your research on the mainstream audience and this is where you will aim your questionnaire at. Also, age and gender are important for your target audience. For my film I am looking at the mainstream audience, teenagers and gender. I aimed my questionnaire at friends and people who are my age. This is my questionnaire:

"How old are you?

What is your gender?

What is your favourite film genre?

Why?

What genre film do you watch the most of?

When you watch a film, what makes you disinterested the most?"

The result from my questionnaire is that the mean age was 16.7 which show that I aimed my questionnaire at a younger audience. The favourite genre was Comedy and the main reason for this was because they are chilled and easy to watch without keeping you on edge but making you laugh. Again comedy was the most watched genre and the reason that people get disinterested the most in a film is the continuity, bad jokes/ punch lines and bad acting.

From the results I have decided to go for a comedy genre due to the popularity. When creating my project I have to take all this into account and make sure that I keep my audience interested by keeping continuity perfect, keeping it funny and getting good actors.
