AUDIENCE QUESTIONAIRE 1
FEEDBACK

2. 1. WHAT IS YOUR GENDER?
Myself (SA) and Monisha Roy, have decided that our
Questionnaire 1 will consist of precisely 100 participants of
which 50 will be female and the remaining half male. We
have both chosen to construct our questionnaire in this
particular style , as it will determine a clear view on film
admiration from both genders. We have used bar charts in
the following slides where male participants are represented
in grey and female in orange colors furthermore allowing us
to compare their responses enabling us to see if the
stereotypical approach society takes on representation of
gender views on film is honest or not.
For example, stereotypically the male gender is represented
to be drawn towards action movies rather then the romance
genre. This could perhaps represent a mans physical
strength hinting at the dominance over women and their
emotional instabilities represented within most, if not all
films. Usually woman represented as damsel in distress and
dependent of a man to rescue them. Stereotypically woman
are represented to be drawn into the romance genre which
in society’s view conveys woman’s aspirations in life overall;
they are represented as the weaker sex. However within our
questionnaire, you will find that the responses from our
participants beat this stereotype therefore this task was
incredibly beneficial.

To begin with we have also decided
to hand out our questionnaire within
school facilities to participants
ranging from Year 7 (11 years old) to
staff ( the oldest 54 years old).
However we believed that it is also
important to handout our
questionnaire to participants outside
of school facilities, such as family
members (retired) and random
people within our community fitting to
the age ranges. We believe that the
wide range of opinions from all age
groups will allow us to gain a wider
understanding of the differences of
film admiration.

We believed that is important to
understand how often our participants
watch movies therefore we can
establish weather our research is
valid. For example is a participant
does not watch movies their
responses to our question may be
dishonest and not as effective.
Therefore before we handed out our
questionnaire, we have asked weather
the participant actually watches
movies at all. As you can tell from the
bar chart displayed on the left hand
side, we have no participants included
that do not watch movies. We believe
that this made our collected data
reliable and efficient.

From this question we
found that the
promotional methods of
Film Reviews, Posters
and Actors are most
effective. We do not
have famous actors
within out film therefore
our group has decided
to promote our short
film through Movie
Posters as well as a
Film Review.

9. 8.) WHAT GENRE FILMS DO YOU DISLIKE? WHAT MAKES THESE MOVIES
YOUR LEAST FAVORITE?! AND QUESTION 9.) 9. WHAT ARE YOUR 3
LEAST FAVORITE MOVIES AND TO WHICH GENRE WOULD YOU SAY THEY
BELONG TO?
According to question 6, myself (SA) and Monisha Roy (MR) have gathered that the majority of participants had shown
less/lack of interest in the Western, Biography, Musical weather female or male. The list of movies displayed below
emphasizes our evidence conducted throughout our Questionnaire 1.
• Twilight (Romance, Fantasy) and High School Musical (Romance, Musical) – Even though our previous bar chart
conducted within question 6 suggested that Western, Biography and Musical are our participants least favorite movie
genres, and even though the Romance genre is displayed to be highly admired, we have found that particular films
belonging to that genre such as Twilight and High School Musical, as examples are shockingly disliked. Below are some
of the example answers of why these two example movies are disliked as well other example movie.
Participant 1: Christian – High School Musical just annoys me. I hate the fact that people would just start and break out
singing and dancing in the middle of their sentence. Not realistic whatsoever people do not do that in real life. I found that
when I got to High School myself and it was nothing like that. Disappointed ha ha ha!
Participant 2: Chad – Twilight is a ridiculously stupid movie as the plot is cliché and boring due to the very predictable story
and lack of relatable characters. The choice of actors and actresses is completely stupid as they have no EMOTION.
Participant 3: Meredith – Twilight is a stupid cliché with nothing relatable at all. The fact that the vampire sparkles and all
we see of the werewolf is his abs most of the time proves to us all that the film is stupid and has no storyline. As well as that,
it implies that women are always craving men and need them to survive. OVERALL, the film is filled with poop.
Participants 4: Han-Sun - I am a fan of the HSM movies, BUT was disappointed with the last one (number 3). I feel like the
storyline didn’t focus much on the other characters but only on gabriella’s story. It didn’t have the same comedy as the
previous movies and seemed more serious. It was something unexpected and not enjoyable. The movie ended with a cliché
of them singing altogether. It was a predictable ending.

Clearly we are unable to
display our short film on
TV or cinema therefore
we have decided for our
distribution method we
would record our film on
a CD/DVD and our main
distribution will be online.
We have also considered
showing the recorded
CD/DVD of our final
product during a school
assembly therefore we
can gain audience
feedback.
