Questionnaire

To help with our, we decided to do a questionnaire to help get an understanding of what the audience wants. We decided to produce our film based on these answers. We asked 20 people:

What is your favourite genre of film?

• Comedy - 11
• Action/Thriller - 4
• Horror - 2
• Fantasy - 1
• Rom Com - 1
• Animation - 1

Although we already decided to do a comedy, this further increased our decision to do so. Our other option was to do an action-comedy but the votes in this question lead towards just a plain comedy.

What is your favourite comdey film?

• Superbad - 5
• Green Hornet - 3
• School of Rock - 3
• Kickass - 2
• Pineapple Express - 2
• Year One - 1
• Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - 1
• Step Brothers - 1

The publics favourite comedy film is Superbad, with Green Hornet and School of Rock just behind. We decided to go along the superbad type film, but changed the storyline a bit to add our own edge. Instead of having teenagers partying we decided to go for young adults who have done too much partying trying to get a job. This works as the next part of someone's life compared to Superbad but still with a similar comic storyline that makes Superbad so successful.

Would you rather see a new range of actors or tried and trusted?

• New Range - 7
• Tried and Trusted - 11
• No Preference - 2

Although the audience said they would prefer more famous actors, we haven't got the budget or the contacts to get big name actors. However, there is a fair size of those who voted for a new range of actors which is more promising for our production.

Do you think films need a high budget to work?

• Yes - 8
• No - 12

More people said that films don't need a high budget to work so it is still likely we will make a good piece for our project. Although a bigger budget would clearly improve the chances of making a good film, it is encouraging to know that the audience is happy with a lower end production.

Do you think music impacts films?

• A lot - 12
• A little - 7
• No - 1

All but one of the participants think music is a factor in films. This means we will have to take strong consideration into the choice of music and sounds inputted into our movie and the effect they make.
