I distributed my questionnaire to 6 females, and 4 males; from this I gathered certain information which I am going to analyse and suggest why certain genders and certain people with different marital status may watch certain genres, watch films in particular places, and who they watch films with.
Firstly, some of the favourite films of my audience are ‘Love Actually’, ‘Pineapple Express’, ‘Black Sheep’ and ‘Final Destination’. All of these film genre’s vary, thus I believe that I have a fair result.
I also have a varying relationship status between my results. E.g. the majority are single, and the minority are engaged. 60% of my audience don’t go to the cinema with their partners however this could be because they don’t have a partner, or are in an early stage of a relationship.
The most common popular film genre is comedy, this could be to do with my questionnaire responders; as they are all aged 16-35 therefore they are not middle aged and are probably more likely to enjoy comedy to western films for example. The least popular film genre is Horror and Romance combined – this is fairly contradictory as the film genres are on both ends of the spectrum and are nothing alike. Perhaps this suggests that those genres are stereotypical of films, and are becoming what we expect from a movie.
Most of my audience watch their films at home, this could be because over time the cinema prices have risen, and in the long run it is cheaper to wait a couple of months and then buy in on DVD. Only 30% of my audience watch their films at the cinema, this could be because they go out on family ‘day trips’ and enjoy watching their films that way. Finally only one person watches their films on their PC/laptop perhaps this is because he was a younger respondent therefore it is easier and mirrors the teenage laziness.
In conclusion, I have found from my questionnaire results that the majority of my respondents are single and watch their films at home.
