The document summarizes the results of a survey about a short film. It discusses the demographics of respondents and their feedback. Key findings include: - Of 9 respondents, 3 were female and 6 were male, with ages ranging from 18 to 55. - All 9 respondents said they enjoyed the short film. - The characters of Libido, Intelligence, and Common Sense were most popular. - Ratings of the film ranged from 7 to 10 out of 10, with an average of just over 9. - Respondents enjoyed the humor, editing, and character interactions the most. Suggested areas for improvement included including more of a female character and better editing and sound in places. The filmmaker

1. Final Major Project Audience Feedback
For the first question in my survey, I asked
what the respondent’s gender was. I mainly
did this in order to gain an insight into what
females thought of the short film (you can
view individual responses), as it was
generally aimed at male audiences due to
its content and themes. However, I also
asked it as I just wanted to document what
the genders were of the people who viewed
the film. Of the nine respondents, three
were female (33.33%) and six were male
(66.67%). This is slightly biased in favour of
males, but I do not think that this affects my
results as the short filmwas mostly aimed
at a male audience.
For the second question I asked how old the
respondent was. I did this as I wanted to see
how age affected the opinions on my short film.
This is because the short film is generally aimed
at a younger audience, due to its story and
themes. Of the nine respondents, four were
aged between eighteen and twenty-five
(44.44%), three were aged between thirty six
and forty five (33.33%) and two were aged
between forty six and fifty five (22.22%). I think
that this is a good varied amount of ages. I am
glad that the majority of people who responded
were young, as my film is aimed at younger
people. However, I wanted to see if my comedy
attracted older people and so I am glad people
in older age groups completed the survey.

2. The third question I asked was an outright
and simple question: Did you enjoy the short
film? I gave options of ‘Yes’ and ‘No’, as well
as ‘Unsure’. I think I should have given the
respondents more options, as they may have
been stuck somewhere in the middle of
unsure and yes/no. However, the results
were still overwhelmingly positive, with all
nine respondents selecting ‘Yes’ (100%). I
am extremely pleased with these results, as
it shows that all of the people who viewed
my short film enjoyed it. Though they may
not be fully enthusiastic about it due to my
mere three answer option, the results are
still very positive. I think this shows that my
short filmwas a good, solid piece of work
and wasn’t bad or unwatchable.
For the fourth question, I asked the
respondents who their favourite character
was in the short film. I listed all of the
characters except the teenage boy, the girl
character and femininity, because none had a
major comedic input. Of the nine respondents
to my survey, four selected ‘Libido’ as their
favourite character (44.44%), three selected
‘Intelligence’ (33.33%) and two selected
‘Common Sense’ (22.22%). These were
definitely the strongest characters in my short
film and I personally thought they had the
best jokes, lines and interactions with other
characters. Libido is quite a sexually driven
character who alludes to ‘love making’ and
other things, which is what I think made him a
funny character. I also think that in this
instance the costume and music played a big
part as well, as they add an extra level of
depth and zaniness to the character.
Intelligence is also quite a funny character and
I think his deadpan approach to everything is what is attractive about him. I think that his interaction with
Common Sense and his lash out at Sloth are also what makes him a good character. Common Sense is the
main character and he has the most lines of anyone in the short film. He is the orchestrator of what is
going on around him and I think his various interactions with the different characters is what makes him
funny. A lot of his humour comes from his responses to other characters. Overall, I am very glad that the
respondents preferred a select amount of characters instead of it being a liberal spread. This is because it
shows I have created good, solid characters who are liked by many people.

3. For the fifth question, I asked the respondents to rate the
short filmout of 10. I am very pleased with these results, as
they are very positive. One person rated it seven (11.11%),
two people rated it eight (22.22%), two people rated it nine
(22.22%) and four people rated it ten (44.44%). The
average rating is subsequently just over nine. I am very
happy with these positive ratings as it shows that that the
general consensus amongst the respondents is that my
short filmis very good. I am extremely happy about four
people rating my film ten out of ten, as it shows how much
people enjoyed it. I did not expect for my film to receive
such high ratings and for it to exceed my expectations in
such a fashion was fantastic.
For the sixth question in my survey, I asked the
respondents what they enjoyed the most. I did
this in order to get a more detailed insight into
what people enjoyed. As can be seen, there are
many different reasons as to why people
enjoyed my short film. Many people cited the
humour, jokes and comedy as the primary
reason as to why they enjoyed it. Others also
enjoyed the way the filmhad been edited, such
as the way it had been put together and the
various camera angles. Some respondents also
enjoyed the general concept and one person
also wanted a follow up. Other reasons people
enjoyed it include the portrayal of different
emotions and the interaction between the
characters. I am very pleased with some of the
reasons why people enjoyed it, including the
interaction between characters and the comedy.
These were two of the main things I hoped to
achieve when creating my short film. The
responses also allow me to see what things people enjoyed in particular- which would enable me to cater
for more people and expand on their preferences if I was to do a similar project in the future.

4. For my final question, I asked the
respondents what they didn’t enjoy about
the short film. Of the nine who took the
survey, two skipped this question, for an
unknown reason. Of the seven, four
answered with variations of ‘Nothing’,
including ‘N/A’, ‘Nothing of Note’ and
‘Enjoyed it all’. I am very pleased that
people responded in such a way but, I feel
that this may be down to sentiment rather
than completely ‘honest’ feedback.
However, I may be wrong, with those
particular respondents actually not being
able to find any flaws. One response to
the survey was ‘Would have been nice to
perhaps include the female character or
include her in a further storyline’. This
shows that the person wants to see the
female character more but, I do not think
that it would be appropriate for her to
appear more, as she is not needed for anything else other than being a plot device. Another suggestion
was that the editing could have ‘maybe been a bit better’. I agree with this and understand the feedback. I
think that certain elements of my short filmhad slightly lacklustre editing and so I think that there could be
improvements in that area. Another person says that ‘the sound at the end needed some improvement’.
As I mentioned in the main evaluation, I had trouble with the female character’s audio for the final scene,
as I had to cut and piece it together as well as speed it up. It definitely needed improvement but with the
time and resources I had, it was the best I could do. Overall, I am pleased with the answers for this
question.
The questions in this survey have allowed me to gain an insight into different opinions on my short film.
The mass majority of the answers have been extremely positive and I am very grateful and proud for this.
The feedback I have received will help me during any similar projects in the future, as I now know various
things that people do and don’t like in the genre.
