The age of the people I asked for the survey ranged
between 16 and 73 but the majority of people that I
asked were 16 and 17 year olds, 55% of them were
between 13 and 20.
Also the gender that I asked was pretty much split in
half between male and female.

3. What is your favourite film genre?
I had a good response to the question: what is your
favourite film genre? It resulted in comedy being the
favourite with 30%, closely followed by action with 25%
of the votes. Sci-Fi and romance both had 15% each
and the rest had 5%. The ‘other’ category ended up
without any votes.

This is a very important question as people think that
cinema isn’t as popular anymore because there are
other modes of consumption. I found that download is
the most popular with 35% of the votes, followed by
DVD and cinema with 25%. TV had 15% votes and PC
and other had 0. This shows that people watch films by
downloading them rather than go to the cinema, watch
it on TV and DVD.

5. Where do you prefer to watch films?
This question is as important because it asks where
people want to watch films, not where they actually
watch them. I had an interesting response to this one.
Cinema was the most popular with 45% of the people I
asked voting for this, TV had 30% and DVD had 15%
and download had 10%. PC and other had 0 votes.

6. I think that cinema is where people want to
watch films because they can see it with other
people like friends or family, this is the same with
TV. But the most popular way of actually watching
it is downloading. I think that this is because it is
easier and you can do it while on the computer
doing other things. I thought that this was
interesting because the way people want to watch
it and how they watch it is completely different.
Conclusion

7. Expectations
I also asked them what they expected an action teaser
trailer to contain because that is the genre that we will
be using for our teaser trailer. There were many classic
conventions that are frequently seen in other action
films that people said that they wanted to see in an
action teaser trailer. They consisted of fast paced,
deaths, forms of violence, explosions and it should be
realistic.

8. Gratifications
When viewing films or trailers, what do you hope to get
from it? Escape, Surveillance, Personal relationships
or personal identity.
The most popular one from these options was
surveillance because 40% of the people that I asked
voted for this. Personal identity was next with 25%,
Escape had 20% and personal relationships had 15%
