The
Questionnaire

3. 
Alexandra
Gregory
From this questionnaire we can see that this
female is aged between 16 and 17 seems to enjoy
most genres accept adventure, sci-fi and black
comedy.
She uses film to escape because she appears to
have a hectic lifestyle.
Sometimes she uses film for personal;
relationships with people who share similar
interests to her e.g. close friends.
Sometimes she uses film for personal identity as
she feels that they can be influential at times.
However, she doesn’t think that it creates any
synthetic personalization.
Lastly, she does not go to films for any form of
personal surveillance because she believes they
are far to fictional and fantasy based therefore
cannot be applied to reality.

4. 
Alexander
Redfern
From this questionnaire we can see that this male
is aged between 16 and 17 and appears to enjoy
genres such as action and comedy.
He sometimes uses film as way to escape stress
and according to his written answer, school work
is the thing he needs to escape from as film helps
him to relax.
He thinks that film conversation can sometimes
contribute to social aspects, and he enjoys
watching films with others because it adds to the
experience.
He isn’t quite sure why films can influence his
decisions but he does think they create a
synthetic personality because it created his preset personality of what he wants to act like.
However, he does not go to films to seek advice
because they aren’t real – they are too fake to
trust.

5. 
Alexander
Tomlinson
From this questionnaire we can see that this male
is aged between 18 and 19 and he enjoys films
such as fantasy, comedy and black comedy
(thriller mixed with humor – puts fear on a lighter
not)
He sometimes uses film to escape what seems to
be his every day life.
He sometimes shares his film experiences and
conversation topics because it keeps him up to
date and ands to his viewing experiences.
He however does not in any way use films for
personal identity or surveillance because films
aren’t real therefore not much connection with
reality can be make with them.

6. 
Bethany
Ryalls
This female is aged between 16 and 17 and
appears to enjoy comedy because she likes funny
things.
She said that she did not use film as a form of
escapism and gave no reasoning for this.
For the next set of questions, she didn’t seem to
think that she used film in social situations in
order to create conversation but she admitted to
sometimes watching films with others.
For both of the next set of questions she said no
to both without reasoning.
Lastly, she had said no to using film as a form of
surveillance in order to gain an understanding an
apply things to her own life.

7. 
Emily
Smith
This female is aged between 16 and 17 years old and appears
to – much like the pervious girl, she only seems to be
interested in comedy films.
However, this girl does not use this love of the comedy genre
for a form of escapism, she simply watched comedy films in
order to be entertained.
She also doesn’t seem to be to use comedy films as source of
conversation in social situation sin order to find common
interest, however, she does in fact watch films with other
people so she has personal relationships in that aspect.
Emily however does not at all use film for personal identity she does not think that film influences her decisions nor give
her any form of synthetic personalization. But, this could be
due to the fact that the genre of film she watches is comedy,
and comedy has elements of things that can’t be applied to
reality. This is because in comedy films, funny/offensive
things are emphasized, therefore doing these things in reality
may not go so well.
The same goes for her using surveillance of film – she couldn’t
use film to grasp an understanding of something in real life
because comedy films don’t tend to have many morals or
advice, they just seem to be very silly and over the top.

8. 
Fran
Massey
This girl is aged between 16 and 17 and by the looks of her
answers she appears to like all the genres that had been listed
accept for black comedy
For the question on diversion (using film to escape anything
stressful in her life) she answered no. Her reason for this was
that she doesn’t really watch films because they tend to bore
her with how long they are, therefore she can’t really watch
them all of the way through.
The next questions asked if she uses film to create personal
relationships. She gave quite positive answers to these
questions as she stated that she sometimes uses film for a
conversation tops, and that she enjoys watching films with
other people because it is nice.
Next however, she answered more negatively for the questions
based on personal identity. She said that she doesn’t think
films influence her decisions as she is her own person
therefore she can make her own designs. She also said that she
thinks film sometimes created synthetic personalization but
this is all down to the style of the film is and how it makes her
feel.
Lastly, she said that she will sometimes use film as a source of
advice(surveillance) because films can often contain valid life
lessons.

9. 
Katie
Roddis
This female is aged between 16 and 17 and likes the film
genres sci-fi, fantasy and comedy.
For diversion Katie answered that she sometimes uses film
as a form of escapism in order to get away from life and lose
herself in someone else's world (the main character) and get
away from her problems.
Katie however had a mixed answer for personal relationship
as she said that she does use film as a conversation tool
because she feels that it helps her to bond with other people.
But for the following question she said that she doesn’t
watch films with other people because it disrupts her
experience. This could also fall into a category of
surveillance as she is using film in order to analyze and then
use it in conversation – she wants to watch film simply to
bond with people but also enjoy the experience.
Next she said that she sometimes feels that films can
influence her decisions because characters can be role
models for people. Also, she said that films create synthetic
personalization and films do this because different feelings
and such are meaningful to life.
Lastly, she said that sometimes she will use film for
surveillance because it can give you a better outlook on the
lives of other people (empathy).

10. 
Kyle
Holden
This male is aged between 16 and 17 and seems
to like the film genres horror, thriller and black
comedy.
He said that he sometimes uses film as a form of
escapism because it is a good form of stress relief
from things such as school, work, family and
even friends.
He then went onto say that he uses film as a
source of conversation because he feels that it is
satisfying to talk to people about it and see what
they also have to say about it – if they agree with
you or not. Also, he said that he sometimes
watches films with others because on the odd
occasion it can be nice to watch films with your
friends.
For the rest of the questions he answered that he
sometimes used film for personal identity and
surveillance, however, he did not give reason as
of why.

Nicole
Henson
This female is aged between 16 and 17 years old and
appears to be interested in the film genres adventure,
horror, thriller, and fantasy.
For the question on diversion she has answered no to
using film as a form of stress relief. Unfortunately she
didn't give any reasoning for this answer.
For the next question on personal relationship, she
had answered yes for using film as a conversation tool
because it is a good way of starting a conversation.
However, she said that she doesn’t enjoy watching
films with others because she talks all the way
through it, therefore ruining the film for herself and
others.
She then went onto say that film sometimes influences
her decisions but it depends on the style film and the
characters personalities. However, she couldn’t even
answer the following question on synthetic
personalization because she just wasn't sure.
