Questionnaire Analysis

Questionnaire Analysis
We have conducted a questionnaire analysis for all the questions and here are our results.





Q1. The pie chart clearly shows that more males took time out to fill the questionnaire than females.

Q2. The table shows that the most people who answered the questionnaire were between 15-18 years. We didn’t simply want teenagers to answer the questionnaire as we wanted to obtain the views & opinions older and younger as when a film is being made, it is important that the trailer caters for all of the age groups mentioned.




Q3. As you can see from the table, the most frequent answer given for preferred genre was Comedy. This is an important question to ask, as this enables us to find out the tastes & preferences of our audience that we have researched.


Q4. List your favourite conventions of your preferred genre?
(Open-Question)
Many different answers were given the most common answer was high tempo music, fight and explosions. This is an important question as this will tell us the most important elements that must be included in our trailer in order to make authentic and original.





Q5. The table shows that the most occurring answer given was Plot Details. This gives the group ideas as what elements to include in our trailer that the audience would enjoy seeing. We will obviously have elements of character details as this was the 2nd most popular choice.





Q6. As you can see from the table, people who have filled out the questionnaire prefer a narrative based trailer. This is an important question as this tells us whether the audience prefer character or narrative based trailers.




Q7. The graph shows that most popular answer given as element you would most expect to see was a powerful narrative. This is strongly expected in a biopic film as films of this genre are meant to grab the reader full attention and make them feel part of the story as most biographical films attempt to bring the viewer close to the narrative in order to relate to it in some form.
The second most common given was voiceover, as this element is most of the time used in biographical films.




Q8. Out of the choices given, the most frequent answer given for their favourite biopic film asked on the questionnaire was Transpotting and in 2nd place was the pursuit of happiness. It seems that both of these films are very popular amongst biopic audiences as most elements you would expect to see in a biopic are in these films and are conveyed very well which is what makes a good biopic.



Q9. What sort of issues would you most expect a biopic trailer to convey?
(Open Question)
Out of the all the answers we were give, the most common answer given was financial issues and the other answers that we were given were relationship issues & family. This seems to have a huge emphasis in many biographical films like the pursuit of happiness, in which we see their financial issues take a strain on the main character’s relationship with his wife which leads to Chris Gardner to separate from his wife Linda.






Q10. An advertising campaign is very important when trying to tell people about films. Most of the people who we asked in our questionnaire said that a trailer affects people the most in watching a film. This isn’t a surprise as TV is best method used most often by producers in telling the general public that a film is out for public viewing.
