Questionnaire

So, I have created a questionnaire to hand out to some people in order to gain a bit more knowledge of what my target audience want and so I can create some audience profiles. 

Here is my final questionnaire and my reasons for asking each question. 

Question number 1 asks the gender of the person filling in the questionnaire. Obviously I asked this question to find out whether the person is male or female. This will help as i can then break down my results into male and female. My target audience is mainly female however I am obviously not ignoring the male opinion!

Question number 2 asks the age of the person filling in the questionnaire. This question was obviously asked to find out the persons age. By finding this out I can target my opening sequence to suitable age groups.

Question 3 asks which social class the person belongs to. Social realist films normally follow the lives of those in the working class bracket and so this would be the obvious class to aim the opening sequence at however I think that the people in the middle class bracket would also enjoy this film.

Question 4 asks which genre you prefer to watch. I am asking this so that I can build up my character profiles and also to see how popular social realisms are.

Question 5 asks where you like to shop for your clothes. This also helps me to build up my audience profiles but it could also reinforce which social class this persons comes from. This could help me get an idea of what my characters could wear and what sort of style they could have.

Question 6 asks what you enjoy doing in your spare time and question 7 asks why. These questions are also to help with my character profiles but it could also give me some ideas for the general hobbies for me to focus my characters lives around. 

Questions 8, 9 and 10 are asking you which type of music and bands you like and how old you like the music to be. This will give me an idea of which types of music to use, if I decide to use music within my opening sequence. These questions will also help me to produce my audience profiles. 

Question 11 asks which social realist films you have seen. This will give me an idea of who watches social realist films and whether they watch the ones which are more heard of or whether they have watched a range of them.

And finally, question 12 asks you which social issue you would prefer to see in a social realist film. Although I have already chosen my main idea, if it becomes clear through this questionnaire that something else is considered more important to the people I have asked then I can add it in as a smaller issue or I may even have time to change my idea.
