My questionnaires were done by eight people. There were five males and three females. All eight of the participants were aged 12 to 18. The most common of the favourite film genres was comedy getting 3 people choosing it as the genre they liked. Then romance and horror got 2 people saying they liked them and thriller and action/adventure both got 1 person that liked them. Science fiction was the only genre that no one liked.
All of the participants apart from 2 could name a short film they had seen in the past. So the questions ‘what do you like about the short films you’ve named above?’ and ‘where did you see the short films?’ were also answered by all of them except 2. The most popular answer for where it was seen was at home (2 people gave this answer) and the most popular answer for what the particpants liked about the films were ending, style and characters because they all got chose twice. Whereas storyline and music only got one tick each and genre didn’t get any.
The question ‘what would you not like to see in a thriller film?’ got answers that told us the least thing people want to see is murders and rape because these got ticks off 4 people. Drugs and sex got 2 whereas psychopaths and swearing only got 1.
The favourate type of thriller was mystery because out of the 8 there were 4 people that said it was there favourate. Second was psychological with 3 people liking it and then spy got one person voting for it. Crime got 0 people liking it.
When a question was asked about narration it was found that people prefer films with narration because it got 5 people saying so. Whereas 2 people said they disliked it and 1 person said they didn't mind wether it had it or not.
Overall, the data collected from the questionaires contibuted to our decisions when coming up with ideas for our short film. It will also help us when the films in production.
