Survey Results

This question was put into my survey because I wanted see that this survey is distributed to the correct target audience that I was going for and that I can have an idea on what they feel about films and their openings.

 This question was included to discover the age ranges of people who have decided to take my survey and to help me identify what age group the people responding to my survey are.

 This question was included to discover what kind of genre people prefered the most out of the options available. From the results it shows that most people either prefered either the musical or action/adventure genre. From the results one person choose the thriller genre out of the eight people who took the survey. This shows me that thriller genre films are not as favoured as other genres so it would be required to make an opening that would capture the audience's attention.

This question was to see how frequently people watch films per month. As seen from the answers people mainly watch up to five films per month, this was asked as it would help me to figure how likely a possible customer is to go out of their way to watch a film. As seen in the chart there is a chance that a person may watch my film as part of their usual 5 per month.

This question was asked to what people most likely watch a film on, as seen from the responses it is clear that it is pretty much equal across all the platforms except for the cinema response being just one less than the watching a film at home or on the internet. This could be useful when it would come to distributing a film as I could possibly distribute a film on all platforms on release in a similar style that the film 'A Field In England' had done by allowing people to view it on what platform they prefered and would thus allow my film to become more popular.

From this question I needed to figure where people mainly find out about the latest films that are coming out soon, from the results it shows that people mainly find out via trailers/TV advertisement, although people also find out about from films via social media. This is to expected as more and more people are starting to have an account on some form of social media, this is useful as people on social media can actually promote a movie for the company by spreading their hype about a film if it is popular enough among the public. Trailers are also useful as they give the viewer around a minute or two to decide whether or not they will keep an eye out if the movie is worth seeing or not.

This question was asked to gauge the interest that the people would have in a Crime/Thriller film. I feel this question is necessary as it give me insight into how many people are likely to follow in the production of a film with this specific genre.

This question was asked to see what importance people would put into a film opening. A sum up of all the results basically entails that the opening is required to draw in its audience into the film and give them a general idea of what the story is but not giving too much detail as to spoil what happens later on unless that is a required part of the opening.

This question asks how important the sound and music in a film is. As shown from the results it is important to most people however it isn't the considered very important. This is useful as it allows me to figure out that good sound music that fits well with the film is what helps to draw the audience in and immerse them within the film.

From this question I needed to see what people expected from a Crime/Thriller. The results show that it mainly needs to focus on character development and mystery to be considered successful, however, I need to include some of the other elements to fit the needs of the people who choose other than those two options.
