Are you Male or Female?

Male; 40%
Female; 60%

We asked this question so that when we looked back at our results we were able
to see what opinion we gain from both male and female perspectives. This also
shows that we have made sure that we have used both male and female so we
dont have a niche audience. We asked 40% males and 60% females due to
those who were willing to answer the questionnaires.

This question was vital for the questionnaire because when we asked people and
they said no, we then wouldnt be able to ask them any more questions. This
helped us to target the individuals who do watch documentaries specifically and
10 of those did.

We asked the 10 males and females how many documentaries they watch per

individuals and how much interest they have for them. 3 females and 2 males
watch 1 to 2 per month, 1 female and 2 males watch 3 to 4 per month and 2
females watch 5+ per month.

This question shows that 2 males and 3 females watch crime documentaries, 3
females watch health documentaries and 2 males watch technology
documentaries. This gave us a good overview of what interests our target
audience. From this we can see that health and crime are popular with the
females but crime and technology are more popular with the males. Because our
topic is based on the mobile phone obsession we want to try and increase more
female viewers to watch documentaries and may be the reason they havent is
because they havent found one that appeals to them yet which is why our
documentary may be a particular interest for both genders.

both males and females together 6 out of 10 individuals preferred an off-screen

make sure that we include real life events in our documentary on the obsession
of mobile phones.

Fully narrated ; 10%

Mixed; 90%

From these results we are able to see that for males and females 90% of them
wanted mixed documentaries and 10% wanted fully narrated and none of the
individuals wanted no narration at all. This will mean that when we create our
documentary we will make sure that we use a variety of narration and not just
one or the other so our targeted audience wants to watch it and its suited to
them.

gate keeping to portray a particular opinion.

age group to them so its more appealing.
