When asked if people like to watch
motorsport based films out of the
twenty five I asked, twenty two of
these said that they liked to watch
motorsport based films. This showed to
me that motorsport was a good genre
to relate my opening to a film to.

3. How old are you ?

31+ This question can be seen
as biased due to the fact
that it was mostly asked in
the school environment,
however I managed to ask
some people outside of
this and collected answers
from each of the allocated
age categories.

Male Female
I was adamant to achieve a
gender equality with those
who answered the
questionnaire so managed to
split the gender in half
achieving thirteen females
and twelve males.

5. What is your favourite
film genre?
Comedy
Action
Horror
Romance
Classic
War
Comedy= 9 people
Action=8
Horror= 3
Romance=3
Classic=1
War=1
I wanted to discover what peoples favourite
genre was other than the motorsport genre. I
wanted to know this to discover if I should link
any other genre’s in with the main genre. Even
though comedy was the most popular our
group had decided that we wanted to avoid
this due to wanting to portray the female
protagonist in a serious and well respected
way. Action was the second most popular and
I felt this was the best thing to try and
implement in our motorsport genre due to the
element of speed and rivalry. However for
opening of it we wanted a character focus,
with an inclination that action was to occur in
the film.

Cinema Online Tv
I wanted to discover
where most people
watched their films for
my audience research.
The most popular choice
was online. I looked into
this and discovered that
this is due to it being easy
accessible, often free and
had the most variety.
Their were a large
amount of motorsport
related films online, I
looked at which ones
stood out and wanted to
make me watch on and
why.

7. Why do you watch

Research
I don’t watch them
When looking at the genre I
wanted to discover what it was
about the genre that interested
people about it and the elements
that made them want to watch
films from this genre. The main
response was the fact that they
liked cars (some referring to
motorbikes as well) I therefore
knew that I would use the
involvement of a car which is
typical of the motorsport genre
linking it with the untypical use of
a female protagonist.

8. What is your favourite
motorsport film?
Rush
Fast and furious
Taladega nights
worlds fastest indian
Herby
Cars
Need for speed

I asked what peoples favourite
motorsport films where so that I could
study these and see which elements
made films stand out. I looked at Rush
and fast and furious in the most detail as
they were the most popular choices.

Twenty people said
that they would pay to
see a motorsport film
at the cinema. I looked
into the most popular
films at the cinema at
the hits/profit made,
to look at these and
see what made them
the most popular-
Blockbuster-
1. Fast and Furious 5-
$209,837675
2. Fast and Furious-
$155,064,265
3. Talladega nights-
$148,213,377

10. Do you play motorsport
games ?
Fourteen people did
not play motorsport
games.
Eleven people did play
motorsport games.
I asked this question to discover if people who liked the genre also
played motorsport games. It was an even split however I looked into
motorsport games to see if there was any ideas that I could
implement taking into consideration the virtual element.

11. Do you prefer road or
track based motorsport
films ?
17
13
This question gave me a clear
indication to the location of my
opening to the film as I was
previously uncertain of
whether I wanted it to be a
track or road based
motorsport film, the track
location also linked well with
formula one and the fat there
are no female competitors.

12. Do you watch
motorsport outside of
the film genre?
Yes
No
Sixteen people watched
motorsport outside of the
film genre, this helped me as
it influenced me to watch
motorsport outside the film
genre as well, to collect ideas
from this and get a realistic
aspect to make my opening
to the film as realistic as
possible.

13. Would you prefer the
protagonist to be male
or female?
13
12
There was an near equal
response to preference
of the gender of the
protagonist. Those who
picked a female also
responded with the fact
that females were not
represented enough in
motorsport and wanted
to see these. Those
favoring men said they
wanted a strong
protagonist and were
happy with the
stereotype.
