Questionnaire analysis

I have looked at and observed the results of my questionnaire. This will help me decide whether my idea of making this trailer will be a success in the real world or not.

Question 1.

This question was about gender, it was a basic question asking whether the person completing the questionnaire was male or female.


The results were about even with 11 males, and 9 females. There is not a significant difference to take into account, however there are 2 more males which would suggest more male orientated answers will be given.


Question 2.

Question 2 was what type of documentary do you like best. The choices given were: REAL LIFE, SPORT, HEALTH AND FASHION.

the most popular was real life with 8, the next most popular option was sport. both of these were incorporated in my initial idea of following a real person around trying to make it as a professional footballer.

this has given me the information that the sub genre within documentary that i have chosen will be successful and is targeted to an age group that will be enthusiastic and willing to watch the film. The sub genre of a real life person and a documentary about sort were both found to be the most popular.

Question 3.

this question was what type of sport would you most prefer to watch a documentary about.

the choices were TENNIS, RUGBY, FOOTBALL AND OTHER. The most popular by a long way was football. This is more than likely because football is the UK's most popular sport and most publicised sport.

This tells me that my idea of creating a media product around a football was a good idea as football is the most popular sport and can appeal to different people no matter what the gender.


Question 4.

Question 4 was what would you prefer see a documentary about: FAMOUS PEOPLE, REAL LIFE PEOPLE, OR PEOPLE ON A JOURNEY. The answer most people went for was real life people. This was probably because people can relate to real life people as they are no different to the viewers. the second most popular was people on a journey this was surprising as famous people usually gain the most publicity in films. However the results further ensured me that I was making the right decision in creating a documentary on a real life person on a journey to become a professional footballer.

Question 5.

This final question was do you prefer long or short documentaries. the majority of people that took the questionnaire chose a short documentary.

This shows that people would much rather see a short documentary film instead of a long film that may be covered over a series of films. My idea was first of all to create a short documentary however i have now decided to create a trailer for a full length documentary film.
