Analysis of my Questionnaire at Survey Monkey
1)
Are
you a female or Male?
In a stereotypical film the majority of the target
audience are associated with women as romantic genres are known to be every
emotive and inspiring which women are known to be and what they expect from it.
Also, this is due to the society’s dominant ideology that women are represented
to be emotional and loves to talk about their ‘love life’ most of the time
which would make it more relatable for them. The results show that 67% were Females
and 32% were males. Even though, the majority of the audience are Females, I
plan to reach this questionnaire to a diverse to get a variety of answers to
help me create the opening of my film from a mixture of expectations. This is
because I will be switching gender roles of what a conventional romantic genres
are to my film opening. However, as the dominant ideology of men being smarter
than women, the main character in my synopsis will be a boy and since he will
the character that I will direct the audience’s attention he will be the one who
narrating the story to women and teach them a lesson about the realities of the
guys in the world. Therefore, having a mixed audience will able to give me an
impression of how they feel personally without having to mention names so that
I can portray my target audience’s expectations with a slight twist but have
the main stereotypical representations so that I’m able to appeal to wider range
of audience. Also, by having a mixture
of a female and male audience, this enables me to show their values and beliefs
to one another. For example: how nice
guys are usually interpreted.
2)
Specify
your age
The varies from 17-18-30+, This is because I aim to
appeal to an older audience this time which would inspire me to create a
narrative that would be more than just the conventional ‘teenage rom-com’ and
make it relatable to an older audience. Therefore, this suggests that my
narrative is needed to be ‘mature ‘and the age range in this topic makes
suggests that the settings of my opening should be from University to working
life. So that the audience are able to identify mise en scene to be familiar to
them because they associate themselves with this on the daily basis.
3)
Which
of the following best describes your current relationship status?
As we can see that most of my target
audience are single (58%), in a relationship (38%), married (0%). Some of the audience that are were maybe once
in a relationship or some may want to know what it feels like and through.
Therefore, I aim to bring back happy memories of being in a relationship and
rekindle these moments in their minds which would make it more relatable to
them to anticipate of what this love story will be like. We also have an
audience who are in a relationship, which helps me outline of what being in a relationship
feels like to them based on the later questions in my questionnaire
4)
Please
describe you Race/Ethnicity
A diverse community, this suggest
that my target audience will have a range of beliefs, opinions and values about
the characters and the way this love story will be set about the ‘romantic
genre’ and their expectations. Their beliefs and expectations will help me create
a variety of ideas to piece my opening and represent this through mainly the
character and their lifestyles.
5) Where do you stereotypically associate romantic films being set?
The
result shows that the most common setting was the ‘city’ (55%) because within
all the film opening texts that I have analysed where get a series of a very
long shot of cities in the beginning, which means that it’s very chaotic and
filled with drama as the city is mainly associated with different lifestyle and
people and in films it’s conventions are that people live in a very small world
which leads to possible conflicts which again creates enigma.
6) Who is often your favorite character in the romantic genre?
We are
able to see that the most appealing character ‘55%’ is the best friend followed
by the hopeless romantic ‘47%. This tells me that these two characters will be
seen in the film opening because they very significant to my target audience
and their expectation. I will have to make a narrative that will be based among
these characters playing a big part on each other’s lives.
7) Define the ‘Perfect Relationship’ that you usually associate with
the romantic genre or personal life?
For this questionnaire, I made it
into an open question so that my target audience can freely express their
personal opinion so that I am able to gather these ideas and generate a deeper
connection between through the characters that are mostly anticipated by the audience.
In this question, I was able to identify very conventional iconographies such
as ‘Expensive Romantic Dates’, ‘Love at first sight’, ‘Movie, dates and dinner’
and most importantly most of my target audience said that the perfect
relationship always starts off as friends and they later on become more than
friends and grow together of a perfect relationship. One of my ideas are to
show the ‘perfect relationship’ in the beginning as my synopsis will be based
about a guy who can’t move on from the ‘perfect relationship’ that he’s in
which is common for both female and male audiences.
8) Define your ‘ideal’ love interest in a film?
This is an open question so that I am
able to get a variety of answers and with the female answers we able to see
that their ideal man is: handsome, cute, funny, intelligent, humble and most
referred to the character ‘Noah’ from the notebook, and Mr Darcy because he
seems to be misunderstood.
9) Who do you usually like to watch romantic films with?
Most of my target audiences said
they like to watch with friends so that my whole opening has to be very memorable.
10) What was the most memorable heartbreak you've ever had? (If experienced and no names have to be specified)
This question was an open question to help
me from my narrative based on some real experiences since the main theme of my
film will be ‘heartache; this enables me to get different perspective so that I
will be able to show these experiences to show different types of ‘heartbreaking
events’ the most common ones were ‘rejection’, ‘betrayal’ and ‘cheating’.
