Assignment 3: Producers & Audiences (Audience Film Viewing Preferences & Habits Questionnaire Results)

Audience Film Viewing Preferences & Habits Questionnaire Results


I asked 5 men and 5 women a variety of questions to find about my audience’s film preferences and how/where they watch films.These questions included:
  • ·       How often do you watch films?
  • ·       What is your favourite genre of film?
  • ·       What is your least favourite genre of film?
  • ·       Do you prefer watching films at home or at the cinema?
  • ·       Name your favourite actor & actress
  • ·       How do you find out about new films?
  • ·       What factors make you want to watch a film?



Ø  From looking at the results, some of the audience will watch a film only once a week but in contrast the same amount of people will also watch at least 3 times or more a week.


Ø  From looking at the results, there isn’t a clear particular favourite, my audience enjoy watching variety of different genres.


Ø  From looking at the results, it is very clear that Romantic Comedies (Rom-Coms) are the audiences are the least favourite genre of films.



Ø  From looking at the results in this line graph, people prefer having the full cinematic experience when watching films.


Ø  The next question I asked was ‘Name your favourite actor and actress’ As a result, these included predominantly mainstream actors such as Liam Neeson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Johnny Depp, Will Smith and many mainstream actresses too like Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie, and Julie Walters.


Ø  I also asked my audience ‘How do you find about new films?’ There are numerous ways in which they discover and find out about new films including e-mails from Cineworld, websites on the Internet like IMDB, film trailers, BBC news reviews, billboards, social media and word of mouth.


Ø  The final question I asked was ‘What factors make you want to watch a film?’ From analysing the results, the most common factors which grab the audience’s attention are:
  • ·       Good storylines
  • ·       Cast
  • ·       Movie trailers
  • ·       Genre/s of the film
  • ·       Directors
  • ·       Topics/subjects of the film
  • ·       Soundtrack
