Question One

This showed that we asked mainly 16-24 year olds, and this was the target audience we were aiming for with the production.

Question Two

After asking all of our respondents we knew that drama was the genre we were going to use. This allowed us to create and imagine ideas around drama. We could, from this, analyse other drama films, as well as looking through the code and conventions of other drama films. 

Question Three

These results showed that the target audience are mainly interested in music. After discovering this, we decided we would try collaborating music within our film. We wanted to try use music as the main feature in the film, rather than just using non-diagetic music over the top of something else.

Question Four

The results from this question, showed that most of the respondents enjoyed teen drama films with a large majority British based; 16/50 respondents said that their favourite film was adulthood.

After reading through all the responses we were able to narrow down our ideas of what the film could be to suit the audience best.

Question Five

Most respondents said that they mainly enjoyed British drama; Misfits, Skins and Shameless were the main results throughout the questionnaire.

After this we knew that some aspects of the film may contain the lives of teenagers, and include the social aspect of teenagers
