1st Questionnaire (Results)

Out of the 30 questionnairs i gave out to students in my school, i recieved 28 of them back. The results show that the majority of pupils that taken the questionnaire were aged 17-19.

The results shown from this graph show that Adventure films were the most popular, closely followed by Action films. Horror films came after these 2 genres and Musical films were the less favourite. I have decided with this information that the final film that we produce will most likely be an Action-Adventure or a Horror. People written that they are introduced to films by other people through mouth to mouth. This is what about half of the people wrote. Other people also wrote they are from advertising, may this be on television, internet, publish's or public advertising boards. Also, the majority of people (around 80-85%) stated that they do not read film reviews.

More people stated they watch three to five films weekly. This was the highest majority on the chart. People told me many ways in way they would watch a film. People wrote "Entertainment", "emotional reasons" and "shock value". They also wrote how they would watch a film just because they are both and it is something to do.
About 2/3rd of the people who took the questionnaire shown they like experimental ideas in films. Experiments can be created in the footage we create, but this could effect the genre of the film and the meaning of it, so this should be considered when producing it.

I asked people which genre of film comes to mind when a colour is presented to then. People wrote:

Red: Horror, Romance

Blue: Comedy, Adventure

Yellow: Feel Good, Childrens

Purple: Sci-fi, Mystery

Black: War, Crime

With this information I can use the listed colours in the posters, magazine covers and trailers I create in the future. Some catorgorys were written more then once in each colour, like Horror was also written in Black.

I listed a few film posters and asked which poster the auidence would the most eye-appling. The majourity of the people who taken the questionnaire chose "Up". I believe this is due to the bright colours used in the poster and family friendly feel. People chose "Inception" secondly and then "Shaun of the Dead". I believe this is because of the abstract surreal look of "Inception".

Out of the 4 font examples, people stated that this is their favourite text out of the four on show, I believe this is because of the futuristic, yet dark style. The result of the text in my opinion was accually quite surprising for i thought that this would be the least favourite.
