User Survey

I have created a user survey using 'Survey Monkey' to try and get a grasp and an idea of what type of audience to tailor my short movie to. I asked them specific questions in what they would like to see in the movie, the type of genre they are most interested in as well as their age.


My Survey


Question 1

As seen from the results the majority of the viewers are aged between 16-18 , this is what I expected and happy to work around as it is the same age as me meaning I feel my ideas and views will go along well with the audience. But I also have a minority of  12 and under  and 30+ age groups , this could make it significantly harder to work with but as the majority is in the 16-18 age group I will use that as a base and set my target audience to that age.


Question 2

The survey has shown that over 85% of my viewers are male , this doesn't really affect the way the movie will be made as gender doesn't define what people like . But this could come helpful at certain point as most men don't mind violence or gruesome scenes.




Question 3

This question is asking what genre the audience would like the movie to be, and it is a tie between comedy and action. This works well as I have an action based movie which has a good balance of comedy in as well which I feel will work great together.


Question 4

As seen in the response that the majority of the audience would prefer their to partial violence in the movie. This could be as many people believe that a lot of violence can ruin a movie and the story line is overshadowed by a violence loving director.

Question 5

The response from the audience has shown that the majority would rather us focus on the plot of the movie, instead of having special effects etc . I feel this is mainly due to many movies focus on extra things an d forget how to correctly tell the main plot / story line.


Question 6

As seen by the response most of the audience would prefer a male protagonist, I feel this result may have something to do with the majority audience being male.


Question 7

The audience has preferred the movie to be a linear & multi stranded, this meaning they want they story to be told in chronological time order but for it to strand of into  different branches and story line. This could be as many people find one story line boring , repetitive and predictable.
Question 8

The results show that the plot is very important to the audience this is probably for the same reason I mentioned earlier that was that many people find one story line boring , repetitive and predictable

Overall the results of the audience survey show that the ages we should aim towards is in the range of 16-18, also it show that the audience is heavily male and what kind of genre they would prefer. As well as finding out what they look for in movies or what they find most important in movies.
