I would like to gather some more quantitative research but I
would like to also have some qualitative questions regarding
mise-en-scene research.

Due to the fact that social media is an easy and effective way of
collecting data I decided to ask my closest friends if they would be
willing to answer my questionnaire on Facebook and send me their
answers back. In total four of my friends
answered my questionnaire. I am now going to
analyse the answers which were given.

3. PARTICIPANT ‘A’
The First person who answered my questionnaire was my
younger cousin Louise. Louise is 15 and is currently studying
in high school. I asked Louise to answer my questions as she is
a very main stream kind of girl who always follows the latest
fashion trend.

The third person to answer my questionnaire was one of my
best friends Emily, who is 17. Although Emily doesn’t fit into
my target audience I know that she didn’t enjoy high school
for many reasons but one been people bullied her. I would like
to get her perspective and opinion on the questions related to
bullying.

5. PARTICIPANT ‘C’
The second person who answered my questionnaire was my friend
Nicole – Who is 17, currently studying dance at college. I asked
Nicole to answer my questionnaire due to the fact that she also is into
mainstream fashion. But more so due to the fact that Nicole works in
a high street fashion store in Hull City Centre. This means that on her
days at work she will see lots of people and the way they dress this
will relate to the questions about fashion.

6. PARTICIPANT ‘D’
The last person who answered my questionnaire was my younger
cousin Ben. Louise is 16 and is currently studying in high school. I
asked Ben to answer my questionnaire as up to now I have only done
