Questionnaire Summary

From my questionnaire, it is clear that I was able to receive a variety of answers. In total, 30 people were able to answer my questionnaire, 18 being female and 12 being male. I ended up asking people between the ages of 15 and 64 and this helped me to gain a wide variety of results.

In order for me to get the results I did, I signed myself up to a website named 'SurveyMonkey' which allowed me to create my own questionnaire. I was able to get my dad to send the link of my questionnaire directly to his colleagues at work and I was also able to send it to my sister and her friends. I feel this was one of the best ways to receive my answers as the website would put my results directly into a bar chart or pie chart.

From question 3, we are able to see that the most popular genre of film is comedy, the next most popular genre being action. Although horror was unpopular between the group I surveyed, we still chose to do an opening with a horror genre as we feel it is the most effective genre to do and one that will be popular with a wider variety of other people.

Question 6 clearly shows that horror is very unpopular, the next unpopular genre being action and then rom-com. Although I got an unpopular vote for horror, it is much easier to produce a horror film and it is much easier to achieve a horror effect rather than any other genre, especially when you have limited materials to work with.

From my results I gathered, the majority of the people I surveyed said that the first ten minutes of a film is very important to them whereas only a few said that the first ten minutes was not important. In addition to that, I also got a majority vote on whether the actor choice influences them on whether they should watch a film or not. I had 21 people say that it did influence them and then 9 who said that it had no influence on their choice.

From question 10 you are able to see that 14 people out of 30 said that they are more inclined to watch a movie if they have seen the film poster for it. However, 16 people said that it did not affect their choice if they were to watch the film or not.

Our Pitch



This is our 25 word pitch which we presented to the class. We were able to gain some helpful feedback which we were then able to apply to our initial idea. It also helped us by giving us an understanding of what people would like to see in our two minute opening.

Preliminary Exercise





We based our prelim on James Bond and we included different types of camera shots such as two shots and panning shots. We hope that over time we will improve on our editing techniques and eventually we wish to compare it to our 2 minute opening piece.
