Real Audience Tastes and Trends

Previously I have used YouGov to find out what a stereotypical post apocalyptic audience is like. From this we decided to create our own version of one, but with a real audience of people that we know or know of. Our filming groups are creating surveys or questionnaires whichever we prefer to gather some information to analyse the results. My group decided to create a survey on Survey Monkey including 10 questions. We posted our link onto 2 social media pages, Facebook and Twitter.

It has now been 6 days since we posted our survey. Overall we have had 45 females and 15 males that have completed our survey, this may be because we do have a lot of friends on social media that are girls and that our friendship groups are mainly girls. The age is quite varied, our most popular age group was 13-17 again due to more people from our sixth form being within that age group and because we have a lot of friends from lower school they will have completed the survey too which confirms as to why we had 35% of our total to be 13-17 years old. The next popular age group was 18-22 with 30%, the age groups from 23-48+ were all under 10%. The interests were a wide range of different answers as it was an open question for anyone to type what they are interested in, sports was very popular, eating and arts such as photography, media and art were also popular as was sleeping. Profession was a similar styled question where everyone could say whatever they wanted, our most popular job was a student, the next most popular answer was a carer, the rest were a mix. Our most common answer for how many hours do you watch films per week was 3-5 hours, however 0-2 hours came second by 1 person. The next question was to see if the people doing our survey watched post apocalyptic films, 65% of people answered yes, the question after was linked to see what films the people have watched. The Book of Eli was by far the most liked film, Independence Day was a good popular answer as it was a film that we have not covered in our lessons and another one was Armageddon which again was great as we have not been through it. Trailers and well known actors persuade many of the people that completed our surveys. Our next question is very different, "Because in post apocalyptic films religions have an importance, do you consider yourself to have any religious beliefs?" and for this question we had one person skip it, 10 people answered yes, 37 said no and 12 answered not sure completely. This question is something we wanted to include to try to see exactly what people thought, we knew it was quite a personal question however we really did appreciate everyone that helped us by answering this question to see exactly what our audience were like. Finally the majority of people chose natural disaster as their favourite story line to post apocalyptic films with Zombie Apocalypse as the next interested story line.
