ANALYSIS OF VIDEO QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS.

ANALYSIS OF OUR VIDEO QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS.

We asked 6 different people (3 boys and 3 girls) that were all Barnsley College students aged 17. Seven different questions were asked about what they thought about our short film. The first question asked of the 6 people was their name, age and occupation, which they all gave answers to. We then asked them questions about our film.

Q1: What genre do you think our film is?

All six people said the genre is Thriller however some people said different sub-genres within this genre. 4 people said the sub-genre would be a crime/thriller and one person said a drama/thriller. We could maybe have more iconography that connotes crime within our film.

Q2: What age range do you think our film is aimed at?

5/6 people said they think the youngest age would be 12 year olds. One person said 15 and upwards, this may mean our film isn’t clear of what age it would be acceptable to watch it at, we took this into consideration and took less violence out of our film. All eight people said adults would be likely to watch it as it would still be of interest to them.

Q3: What age rating would you give it?

5/6 people said our certificate of the film would be a 12 because there is little violence in the film. However one person said a 15, this could be because of the violence in our film and the complex story, similar to the question above we did take a bit of violence out of the film to make it more eligible for a certificate 12.

Q4: What gender do you think our film is aimed at?

5/6 people said the film would be mainly aimed at males as the film has more masculine aspects in it such as crime and money. Which is mainly the target audience of our film. However one person did say the film is unisex therefore we could maybe have more masculine elements for it to be clearer that it is mainly a male target audience.

Q5: What would you rate out film out of 10?

2/6 people rated our film an eight, 3/6 people rated our film a nine and 1/6 rated our film a 10. We are really pleased with these ratings as we were aiming for at least a 7/10 rating.

Q6: What part of the storyline appeals to you most?

3/6 people said they liked the plot twist in our film  (which is the fact the person who kidnaps him and holds him ransom is his friend), which we were aiming for people to notice and enjoy. One of the people we interviewed said they enjoyed the tension at the beginning of the film when Jason is getting followed then attacked. One of the people we interviewed said they enjoyed the fact it was a crime thriller and the other person said they thought the whole film was appealing.

Q7: What do you think we could improve about our film?

One of the people we interviewed said we could maybe improve the tension in the film; we took this into consideration and have created more tension throughout the middle stage of the film.

One of the other people we interviewed said we could improve the setting, which we took into consideration, and have bought props to make the one of the settings look more dangerous and secluded. Finally 4/6 people said in their opinion there was nothing to improve.
