The questionnaire collected information from 30 people in the target audience for a documentary about video games. It found that most respondents were female aged 17-19 who watched Channel 4 and E4. Most watched documentaries occasionally and were interested in true stories and animals. The most popular video games were GTA 5, FIFA, and Sims, which respondents played every day or on weekends for 2-4 hours. Most felt video games were entertaining and preventing boredom. Respondents typically spent up to £30 on games, bought from Game Station, and thought age ratings were sometimes incorrect.

1. Questionnaire Analysis

2. I produced a questionnaire and gave them to 30
people in our target audience range. This was
to collect some helpful information for when it
comes to creating our documentary. I asked
various questions which would help me
identify what our target audience is interested
in and their likes and dislikes, helping me
create a documentary that will appeal to them
more.

3. What gender are you?
Male
Female
This question showed there was more female than males which could possibly help with
the colour scheme for our documentary to appeal to the audience more.

4. How old are you?

17
18
19
The people we asked for this question ranged from 17-19. This chart shows that their were
more 17 year olds.

By asking what channel our target audience most watch, we found out that E4 was the most
popular. But as Channel 4 is the next most popular, we decided that we would use that for the
channel we use to put our documentary on.

6. Do you watch documentaries?

No
This chart shows that more people than not watch documentaries which is good as it shows
that people from our target range might watch our documentary.

watch?

When we asked this question, we found out that people mainly like to watch documentaries
that interest them. As a lot of people like video gaming, this could perhaps mean that they would
be interested in watching our documentary.

8. How often do you watch
documentaries?
Once a week
Once a month
Once a fortnight

The people we asked said that when or if they watch documentaries, that it is mainly once a
fortnight. This could help me when choosing the scheduling for my documentary.

More people said that they do play video games which is helpful as we know how important
video games are and know that people will want to watch a documentary about them.

10. What video games do you play?

We found out that action is the most popular genre of video games. This could help me
with what archive material that I put in the documentary.

has become and how much money it is.

for?
30 minutes
1 hour

2 hours seems to be the main period of time that people play video games for. For the content
of the documentary, I could talk about how long they are playing video games for and how some
people have even say that they play video games for longer than 4 hours.

14. What are your thoughts on video
games?

Entertaining seems to be the more popular answer. Some people have said that it also prevents
boredom. This means I can talk about how maybe boredom leads to the video games and how
perhaps people to become more active and do a lot more to prevent boredom, therefore
decreasing their time playing video games.

15. What is the most you have paid for a
video game?

£3
£15

This pie chart shows that our target audience have mainly spent about £30 on a video game.
Some even saying that they have spent £50 on video games. I could talk about money, and how
people are spending it on video games, and how expensive they are. I could even talk about how
much the producers of GTA 5 have made since the release of their game.

give others video games.

17. Have you ever bought anyone else a
video game?

A lot of people have said that buy others video games. Depending on the game, perhaps GTA 5,
I could talk about the cost, and if they had to wait in line for the popular game.

18. Where do you buy video games from?
Tesco
Game Station
ASDA
Argos
Online
Amazon
Games Retailers
Game
Sainsbury
Game Station seems to be the more popular store where people buy their video games from. I
could try to get an interview there and ask them questions about how popular their game
section is and how many people come in daily to buy them.

19. Do you think the age rating on video
games is correct?
Yes
No
A lot of people think that the age rating on video games is correct, however, many also think that
the ratings are not correct. I could interview a few of those people to get their thoughts on why
that is and maybe either use it as an interview in my documentary or as a voice over.
