First Questionnaire Results

1) "Are you male or female?". This shows the ratio of male to female questionnaire recipients. 40% of the them are male and 60% are female.



2) "How old are you?". This shows the amount of people of different age groups I asked in my questionnaire, the largest of which was 16 to 25 as many of the people I asked were other students in my class.


3) "Have you ever seen a short film?". These results show that 95% of the people I asked have seen a short film.


4) "If yes, what did you find was different between it and a normal film? (Apart from length)". I got many different responses to this question, here are some things I was able to learn from them:

- People noted that there was only one storyline instead of the many sub plots that feature in longer films.
- There is sometimes less speech than conventional films and more of a focus on music.
- The pacing is faster and there is usually a twist ending that the viewer wasn't expecting.
- There is usually only one scene and one setting for that scene.

5) "Did you enjoy it?". These results show that 90% of the people I asked enjoyed the short film which they saw.


6) "If yes, what did you like about it? If no then what did you dislike about it?". From the responses I got I was able to draw some conclusions:

They found that the atmosphere is greater and the story ideas are really original. They like the fact that the stories don't drag on and that a lot of entertainent was squeezed into a small time span as this allowed them to see the whole film in a single sitting without being interupted.

7) "What do you expect from a short film?". These results show what my questionnaire recipients expect in a short film, they were allowed to choose more than one of the options. 'Unusual or surreal storyline' and 'Concise storyline with no unnecessary filler' are the two most popular categories.
