Audience Research

In the lesson we produced questionnaires individually, to find out what peoples opinions and preferences are, in relation to film interests. On my questionnaires, i asked these questions: 

1. What is your favorite film? 
2. Who is your favorite actor/actress?
3. Do you prefer watching British or American films?
4. Have you ever watched a Film Noir? 
5. Do you know anything about the Film Noir genre? 
6. How often do you watch films? 
7. Do you prefer to watch films in the cinema or wait for DVD release?
8. Do you use media internet sites such as YouTube? 
9. What is your favorite genre of film? 
10. Do you prefer watching films alone, or with company? 

From the graphs it is clear to see that people prefer to watch British films, which I found to be quite a surprise. People also overwhelmingly prefer to watch films online, which was quite a relief as our film is being released over the internet! 

We based our target audience for our film around people who appreciate the genre of the Film Noir, or are interested in exploring the genre. We felt it was important for everyone to get the oppertunity to see the film, which is why we chose to use YouTube to distribute it.
