This pie chart shows me and my group that the majority of people that answered our questionare are ranged from 22 years old to 30 years old. This may give us bias results as people of this age may have different opinions and ideas to someone of the age of 31 or above. In addition only 10% of the people we asked were aged 16-21, this may affect our results as our target audience is going to be 15 and above and we now do not have enough results to allows us to think about ideas to put in our clip.
This chart shows me that 12 out of the 40 people i asked do not enjoy thriller movies, this means that my results will be bias as they might have ticked random answers as they might not watched many thrillers and do not know the answers. This also means that my future questions wont help me in planning my thriller as some of the answers are false and may be made up. This will make my thriller clip not as good as it would be if all 40 people enjoyed thriller movies.
This pie chart helps me decide what people would use as a setting in their own piece, i asked this question as i believe finding out what people in my target audience would use would help me figure out what setting I will use. I also used this as a close question as i am only going to use one of the following; House, Derelict building, Forrest, School and if I would have used an open question i may have got other answers back and these would be any use to me. This has helped me to decide to use a house instead of the others as the majority chose house.
This question, like one of the previous shows that some of my results are useless as 5% of the people I asked have never seen a thriller film which means that some of the results for other questions were made up by this people and do not help me in my research. Although this question has allowed me to know whether some results are useful or not this question is very brief and doesn't give me great detail. It does not help me decide what setting, ideas or themes to use unlike the other questions I have.
This question is one of the best questions I asked, this is because this questions let me know what target audience my participants would select themselves which allows me to interpret what target audience I should chose. This is because I have a mixed range of answers which lets me analyse why people may have chosen the audience they did and use it for myself. In addition i did this question as a closed question as there are only a few answers which means this question wouldn't work as an open question.
As well as asking closed questions I also asked a few open questions, I asked these so that I could have a variety of different answers for a question which couldn't be answer with options. This then allows me to analyse each individual answer and see whether it helps me in my research. For example one of the open questions I asked was "What can you expect to see and hear in a thriller film?" The answer to this question is opinion based, from the peoples opinions I can take all the things they would expect to hear and see and analyse each point and decide whether the sounds or things they would expect to see would make my thriller more engaging or scary. In addition another question I asked was "What interests you in watching a thriller?" again this answer is opinion based and could be answered depending on what films they have seen. These answers will tell me why people are engaged by thrillers and what sort of ideas, items, sounds etc create shock, surprise and suspense.
You have explained the purpose of your questionnaire and analysed the possible reasons for your results as well as including what they might mean in terms of what the audience wants. You have related some of your analyses back to your thriller; however, you need to make sure you explain how you might incorporate your results into your opening sequence, giving a couple of examples.
ReplyDeleteTo improve your post you need to:
1) Include examples of how you might incorporate results into your sequence
2) Use PEER to analyse your results in more detail, thinking about why people might have given certain answers
3) None of your results are 'useless'; they may be 'less effective/relevant'
4) For the open questions, provide an example for the questions displayed, and analyse them in the same manner as your pie charts
5) Double check some of the content of your pie charts (last one is unclear what it is for)
6) Include an introduction explaining the purpose of your research and a summary explaining what you found useful etc. and how ou will use results to base your opening scene on
