The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted with 30 respondents between the ages of 16-18 to help plan and target their documentary about bowling. Key findings include: most respondents were female; the favorite colors were red and blue; most go bowling with friends at least once a month as they find it fun; most see bowling as a competitive sport and would recommend it to others. The documentary will therefore aim to be fun, feature friends bowling together, and include laser tag as most respondents also did that. It will air on Channel 4 between 6-9pm and feature indie music.

questionnaires to a total number of 30 people.

We then asked our respondents whether or not they go bowling because we
