The document analyzes the results of a questionnaire about a mountain biking documentary. It finds that the target audience was 18-21 year olds. The strongest element was the cinematography of the riding scenes. The weakest elements were the soundtrack and interview. Viewers felt the documentary was average in terms of information about the sport. Most would recommend it to others and watch similar documentaries, showing there is interest in the format. It concludes the video should have been distributed online, especially on mountain biking websites, rather than television.

1. Evaluation Question Three
Questionnaire answer analysis

2. Question 1 (What age range are
you in ?)
>14
15-17
18-21
21-30
<30
As you can see from this pie chart the majority of
people who answered my questionnaire where
between the ages of 18 and 21. This is probably
the ideal audience for my documentary as it was
supposed to appeal to everyone, however the
representation given off by the rider in the video
may have attracted a younger audience more
than and older one. This wasn’t intentional when
creating the video however it seems the
audience match the rider quite well. There are
also some very young and older audience
members which does show that the documentary
can appeal to everyone.

3. Question 2 (What gender are you
?)
Male
Female
This graph shows that I asked
exactly half men and half women to
answer my questionnaire. I did this to
try and get equal opinions from both
male and female audience members
too see if they would have very
different opinions too each other. I
hope this ratio will give a good
overview of what everyone would
think of my documentary rather than
just one niche audience.

4. Question 3 (What would you rate
the documentary out of 10 ?)
0
0.5
1
1.5
2
2.5
3
3.5
4
4.5
0 2 4 6 8 10 12
This graph shows a spread of
how well people rated my
documentary out of ten each 1
person at the bottom is equivalent
to 2 actual answers but the graph
would be too large otherwise. As
you can see nobody rated it
bellow a six which in itself is quite
good and six people gave it 10/10
which is very exciting. This graph
demonstrates that my video was
clearly well made as nobody
thought it was bad, hopefully the
next few answers will give me
more of an indication as too the
best parts of the whole video.

5. Question 4 (What is the strongest
element of my project?)
0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5
Riding
Sound
Interview
DPS
Advert
This graph shows the
strengths of my entire
project including the printed
items. From the look of the
graph the cinematography
behind the riding was the
audiences favorite part of
the video which is what I
wanted to get as feedback
as I put the most time and
effort into the filming. The
printed work wasn’t that
strong when compared to
the video as they are a
small part of the entire
project. However when
compared to each other its
is clear the double page
spread impressed the
audience the most
probably because of its
more complex layout and
imagery.

6. Question 5 (What is the weakest
element of the project?)
Riding
Sound
Interview
DPS
Advert
From this pie chart we can see that
the sound in my video and the
interview where clearly the weakest
parts of my project. This could be
because of the music in the
background not being to everyone's
taste or that some of the questions
are cut off at the very beginning.
The interview was probably rated
weak because of Zac’s small range
of movements and tones while
talking to the camera. This could be
easily changed by finding a more
excited and animated rider to film in
the future. The printed work was
clearly not everyone's favorite by
the graph, this could be because of
the quite unique style of the DPS
and advert as they needed to match
the codes and conventions of riding
magazines while still looking
professional.

7. Question 6 (What would you
change about the project ?)
Music
Interview
Narrative
Cinematography
From this we can see that the
audience would have liked a
stronger narrative throughout
the video. It would have been
hard to make a real narrative for
Zac to follow. The music and
interview are also major parts
that the audience would have
wanted a better version off, this
would be easy to do by
choosing a more popular song
that fitted the sport a bit
better, however the interview is
subject to the person being
interviewed. Zac is quite a shy
person so he couldn’t be
expected to be really loud and
animated during the interview
process.

8. Question 7 (How informative did
you think the documentary was
about the sport ?)
Very
Not Good
Average
Useless
This shows that people thought
my documentary was alright for
the amount of information they
received about the sport, the
video wasn’t made especially to
be informative it was made more
to show the excitement and pace
of the riding and how a rider can
try and progress at a range of
bike related areas. On the up
side nobody said the video was
useless in its information and
some people even said it was
very informative about the
sport, the fast paced editing and
riding is supposed to show off the
fun side of the sport in the video.

9. Question 8 (Would you
recommend this video to others ?)
Of course it was brilliant
Probably not
Maybe to some of them
Never
This is quite an important
question for a documentary. If
the audience are willing to
show the video to people then
it will become more popular
and be seen by a wider
audience. This is why the
response I got was good to
see as almost half of the
audience would have shown
my documentary to other
people and a large percentage
would show it too some of
their friends. It is clear the
audience enjoyed watching
‘Six Months In’, this is great
feedback.

10. Question 9 (If there were more
documentaries on TV like this one
would you watch them ?)
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
Of course Maybe Yes No
This is one of the more important
questions at it shows that a
series of short documentaries
like mine could be a
success, and by the look of the
bar chart it could be with half of
the audience saying that they
would watch more
documentaries like mine.
Surprisingly nobody at all said
no, if I made small changes to
the format of my videos it could
become a successful project.
This is encouraging and means
that I succeeded in entertaining
people with mountain biking.

11. Question 10 (Where would you
expect to find this video ?)
Youtube
Pinkbike
Social networks
TV
From this final question it is clear I
used the wrong media to show my
documentary to the public. Most
audience members would have
expected to see the video online and
especially on a mountain biking
website called ‘Pinkbike’. This all
makes sense as a short video like
mine wouldn't’t really appear on large
television networks, it would also
reach its target audience a lot more
easily as most people who are
interested in riding would be looking
on riding websites for this sort of
information.
