Audience Questionnaire and how it would help us within the group

We were asked to collect research on what audiences would like to see and/or want from Genres, for this exercise I have chosen to ask mainly about 'Drama' and 'Horror' because we are doing a hybrid drama genre, and horror is a well known genre.


I have given my final questionnaire to 14+ persons of different ages and genders so I can get a better set of results to understand how, when we come to make our film opening, and how we can understand demographics of our target audience to create a film opening that would make them want to watch the rest of the film.


Here are the questions that i asked.

1. How old are you?
2.  What Genres are your favourite?
3. What Genres are your least favourite?
4. What would you expect from a 'Fantasy' genre of film?
5. What audience members would you expect to go and see a fantasy genre of film?
6. What do you expect from a 'horror' genre of film?
7. what audience members would you expect to go and see a fantasy genre of film?
8. what was the last film that you saw in the cinema?
9. did you enjoy that film?




From the 14+ people that i asked, i was able to draw up my results.

This would help us when creating our media product because it will allow us to understand the audience demand of what they would like to see, so then we can apply that when creating our own in order to attract the audience that we desire, eg. our chosen audience later explained within another post.
