Questionaire

Questionnaires are a great way to get lots of data, they are extremely cheap, easy to produce and can be given to a large number of people.

My group created a questionnaire about horror films to give us an idea of what kind of film we want to create. In order to create the most popular horror film we are collection data off of sample of people and find out what they like about horror films. We mainly gave these questionnaires to people from the age of 15 to 24 as we already found out that this is that largest age group for cinema goers. We also though it would be easier to create a film based around the same age group as us as we can then think about what we like in horror film when creating our own.

Here is an example of the questionnaire that a member of the group created: 

I feel that this questionnaire could have been longer and related back to horror film to get more of the details that we need. Some of the questions are very vague for example 'do you watch film' is not a particularly great question as most people have seen a film in there life. Overall some of the questions gave us some good answers such as 'what do you expect to see in a horror film', which were very helpful. 
If I had time I would create a different questionnaire with more detailed questions in order to get better and more detailed responses.

Here are some of the results from the questionnaire:
