2. How old are you?
The majority of the people who answered my questionnaire were between the
ages of 18 and 25. This means that the information I collect from the rest of my
survey is going to based majorly around what young adults prefer when it
comes to film.
There was also 2 that were 17 or under, 1 between the ages of 26 and 35, and
3 55+.
3. Gender?
Out of the 15 people that answer my questionnaire 6 were male and 9
were female. The majority of people who answered were female but the
balance between male and female is quite equal.
4. Do you like films?
Out of the 15 that answered my questionnaire, only 4 people said that they
didn’t like films. This means that the majority of the following answers are
from people that enjoy watching films. This means my answers are going
to be accurate.
5. How often do you go to the cinema
and watch films?
Most people on this question selected other. These people had answers
like ‘When a film comes on that I like’, ‘I watch films everyday at home’ and
‘When I have money’. This shows that the majority of the 15 people who
answered don’t have a specific time they go to the cinema each week, and
that it’s solely based around what films are on, and if there is anything that
they like.
6. What genre of films do you like?
For this question people
were allowed to choose
more than one genre as
people can have a wide
range of favourite
genres. The genre with
the most picks was
Comedy, with 11 people.
The genre of my
film, Thriller, was chosen
by 5 people out of the 15
that answered, which
could prove as an issue
for my genre of film. The
people who chose
Thriller were ranging
from 18+, so I know that
my film genre will appeal
to people throughout all
7. What interests you about these
genres?
As my film is going to be a thriller, I’m going to focus solely on what the
people who chose thriller said about the genre.
Person 1 said: ‘They are all very well made and make you think which
immerses you in much more.’
Person 2 said: ‘They relate to the audience. Whether it's through laughter
in comedy films, or playing on people's fears and emotions in thrillers.’
Person 3 said: ‘The story's behind them’
Person 4 said: ‘They entertain me’
Person 5 said: ‘The story line’
This shows that these people that like Thrillers like something that is going
to get you thinking, play with peoples fears and emotions, and that is at the
same time going to entertain you. This is something I will consider with my
own film.
8. Would you be interested in a thriller
film based on detectives?
The difference between the responses for this question is actually quite
equal. 9 people said yes and 6 people said no. This shows that people
have mixed opinions on the subject of my film and therefore I will need to
consider what I’m going to do to get more people to take interest in my
idea.
