- 22. Quantitative versus Qualitative questioning There are 2 types of âdataâ (ie. Information) we can get back from our research: ⢠Quantitative ⢠Qualitative
- 23. Qualitative data Eg. If we asked the question What did you like or dislike about the film âChappieâ? I liked how the film made me question what the human soul is and how it asked a lot of important questions about religion and rebirth. The effects were good, but the story and subtext were better. Qualitative data gives us an in depth opinion back.
- 24. Quantitative data Quantitative data gives us a measure of what people think, in a statistical or numerical way. Eg. If we asked the question Did you like the film âChappieâ? YES or NO (circle your answer) YES NO
- 25. Quantitative versus Qualitative questioning Which gives us a more useful answer for deep analysis of peoples reactions to our subject?
- 26. Quantitative versus Qualitative questioning Which is easier to present in a graphical, simple way?
- 27. Quantitative data Gives us simple answers (and a simplified version of what people think) meaning it is easy to put into graphs and charts It shows us what people think about a subject but doesnât allow us to understand why they think that.
- 28. Quantitative data Gives us in depth answers which allow us to understand our audiences reactions, but it is hard to put these complex results into graphs and charts It shows us what people think about a subject but doesnât allow us to understand why they think that.
- 29. Making a good survey 1. Understand who your audience are. What do we need to know about our audience? ⢠Age ⢠Gender ⢠Occupation ⢠Location What type of question would be best to get this data? Quantitative or qualitative?
- 30. For example NAME _________________ AGE 16 â 18 19 â 25 25 â 30 30 â 50 50 â 65 65+ GENDER MALE FEMALE PREFER NOT TO SAY OCCUPATION ________________
- 31. Making a good survey 2. Understand what questions you need answering Eg. If you wanted to know if people would go to see your film based on its idea alone, what could you ask?
- 32. Making a good survey 3. Get a large enough sample of participants to make it useful. If you ask 20 people, and 19 of them are teenagers your data will obviously state that teenagers are your main market, when in fact this is probably not true. Ask a range of different people, of different ages, genders and occupations to get a varied, reliable sample.
- 33. Task 1 Working in pairs, come up with a list of ten questions you could ask to find out useful information about peoples reactions to your screenplay idea.
- 34. Task 2 Using the link on moodle create a survey- monkey survey which seeks to answer those questions. Send the survey out via social media, email and any other means to a large, varied sample.
