(1) The survey responses showed that the documentary audience would primarily consist of females ages 12-20, so the content needs to be balanced for both genders and focused on teenagers. (2) Most respondents thought mental health was an important topic and that interviews were an important part of documentaries. (3) The majority of respondents watched documentaries monthly or weekly and had been personally affected by mental health issues, so a documentary on this topic would have an interested audience.

1. This question was targeted to help me understand
who I was aiming my documentary towards. It also
helped in knowing that the majority of people who
completed the survey were female (19) with males
the minority. This means I must balance my
documentary and aim it towards both genders.
Knowing the age of my audience allows me to
tailor the content that will be shown. All 24
people who completed the survey are between
the ages of 12 and 20. This means I can focus my
documentary on teenagers.

2. Mental health is considered an important topic,
asking this question lets me know whether
mental illness is a good topic to use for my
documentary.
23 out of 24 people consider interviews to be
important in a documentary. This shows me that I
need to include a few interviews in my
documentary as this is what individuals look for
and particularly enjoy.

3. Knowing whether people watch documentaries
allows me to work out whether filming and making
a documentary would be worth it if only the
minority of individuals would watch it. However, 18
of those said ‘yes’ to watching documentaries
which means making a documentary would be
worth it.
Knowing that majority of people watch documentaries on
a weekly or monthly basis allows me to tailor how often a
documentary of this type should be published.

4. 23 of the 24 individuals have either personally
experienced problems with mental health or a
family member or friend has. This amount shows
that mental heath is always a current topic that
affects more people than you think.
Knowing what my audience would prefer in the
documentary allows me to take this evidence and use it
effectively. In this instance I will use a mixture of a
presenter and a voice-over as this is preferred by my
audience.

5. Knowing which platforms individuals use to watch
documentaries on helps me to know where, if I were
to, publish them for people to watch.
Asking what content should be covered and included in
the documentary allows me to research certain disorders
and find individuals suited to these disorders to explain
and inform the audience.
