Questionnaire written analysis

I gave my questionnaire around to 10 people, and the answers I received back were extremely interesting to read. Unfortunately, the majority of the participants were aged 16 or 17, which only gave me the knowledge of a younger audience. However, I tried to branch out my questionnaire to a variety of different groups and people. All of the people live within the South London area, therefore all of them are able to view films easily, at their local cinema. One participant game me feedback saying that if they are unable to go to the cinema, there are plenty of shops around to buy DVD’S.
All of the people who answered said that they watch a film at least once a week. With the maximum answer saying that they watch a film every day. When asked ‘what types of films do you enjoy watching?’ there were mixed results. 60 percent of the answers were ‘comedy’, with the other 40 percent replying either ‘crime, horror’ or ‘anything’. However, none of the participants said social realism films. What is interesting though is that 60 percent said that they had seen a social realism film, and 50 percent said they had enjoyed it. Yet none of these people said it was their favourite kind of film to watch, which could suggest that they like to watch social realism films, but prefer to watch others.
Half of the answers say that they are interested in graffiti, which is what my film is about. And another 60 percent of the answers said that they would be interested in watching a film about graffiti. Many of the answers said that they would be interested in watching a film about family struggles, so the relationship between the parents and the son in my films could play a huge part in the film as this is what many people would enjoy watching. When asked, ‘where have you seen graffiti’, most of the answers said transport, such as trains and buses. Therefore, my story would be best if it was set in a city full of buses and trains such as London.
All of the answers said that they thought a graffiti artist would normally be in their teens or early twenties; this can help me greatly in picking an actor. All the participants said that a graffiti artist should never be jailed, therefore if I included a graffiti artist being jailed in my film, this could be quite controversial and gripping. All wrote back saying that there is a gap in the market for a film focusing on issues to do with teenagers, which suggests that there aren’t many films challenging mine.
