This document summarizes the results of a pilot questionnaire about filmmaking. It finds that answers were varied regarding names, titles, effects and camera techniques, suggesting a wider sample is needed. One respondent advised spending time researching the topic and speaking to those with direct experience. The evaluation notes some questions were confusing and need clarifying, answers in one question overlapped, and an answer was missing in another question. Changes to the questionnaire will make it clearer and cover all options.

12. • There was one question which was answered that is very helpful for us. It
said “ Spend time researching whichever topic to end up covering.
Speak to someone who has genuinely been through it for themselves
otherwise you run the risk of it being clichéd and unengaging. Above
anything, remember that it should be substance over style.”
• We will completely take this on board. The research he suggested I have
covered in topic research. Also, we need to speak to someone who has
been through it! Some really helpful advice!
QUESTION 13

13.  We thought that our questionnaire was very successful and many of the
answers from our target audience selected were what we assumed so, such
as props and lighting.
 From the research there are a lot of varied answers regarding names, titles
and effects. This reasons why we need to have the questionnaire on a wider
sample; there will be more of a pattern in the results. There were also
varied answers for camera shots and movement which suggests that we
need to include a mixture of them both to improve our production by
making it more appealing and engaging.
EVALUATION

14.  General feedback from the questionnaire was that some of it was slightly
confusing. This means that we need to adapt our final questionnaire and be
more clearer and specific for the audience so that they understand.
 One audience member suggested that we explain the relationship with his
father in more detail which we will add.
 On question 2, the answer of ‘inner city’ and ‘high-street’ overlap.
Therefore we will need to eliminate ‘high-street’ and just have ‘inner city.’
 Also, for question 10, I think that there is an answer box missing. We only
put dialogue, and dialogue with minimal music. I think that music playing
needs to be another answer so it covers all options.
