Research Questionnaire

To get a variety of results, I carried out my research questionnaire on two platforms. I made a survey on SurveyMonkey.co.uk and I also filmed a questionnaire.

The video questionnaire I made interviewed fourteen different people from around my school, with ages varying from 15 to 50+ which meant I could get a good idea about the distribution of answers in context to ages. I then made some charts to show my results from both the survey and the video. The only problem I faced with the video was that I could not include everyone's opinion on every question so the infographics I made show more votes than the video.

From this infographic, there is a even distribution of favourite movie genres. It is evident that Horror/Thriller and Comedy are the most popular which can help us see what genre to choose. Picking a popular genre such as them will mean that our film opening will appeal to a larger audience and if the film was real, it would hopefully sell more than a film that was in the fantasy genre which got only one vote as peoples favourites in this research.

It is evident that romance in the least popular genre. Horror/Thriller and Comedy are once more, shown to be popular are as they don't have too many votes on this question, furthering our interest for picking one of these as the genre for our film opening.

 This figure shows that the title of a movie, though is important, is only important to a partial extent. Three people thought it was irrelevant so this gives us an idea that when choosing the title to our film opening, we won't have to spend too much time picking it, though it does have to be relevant to our plot line and genre otherwise it may confuse the audience and hinder them from watching it if it was a whole film.



This pie chart shows that most people, regardless of their age, watches films that have the 15 certificate. As shown in the video, there is a common opinion that I found, also seen in the survey, that films don't get enough sold tickets if they are rated 18 so it would be most beneficial for us to rate our film opening a 15 because it'll contain content that is so explicit for a 12 but it will also sell better than if it was an 18 because it would appeal to a larger audience.
