Questionnaire Information
The questions within a questionnaire have to relate to the task, and be useful information that will potentially help you within the project. For example within my questionnaire is asked 'What do you expect to in thriller films?', along with this I gave 5 options in which individuals could choose from. This question directly relates to my focus of 'thriller films'. It helps he find out generally what features dominate thrillers and what audiences pick up on the most. I chose within my group to question 40 people to collect information for my survey, as I felt that it is a reasonable number to get enough of a variety of opinions from randomly aged individuals. Fairly as there are 4 members in our group, we decided to be responsible for surveying 10 people each. This task is beneficial as it shows that we have undertaken primary research, that is valid and recent, which gives us a good understanding of what people today like in thrillers.

  1. This post on questionnaires shows a good understanding of why researching into a target audience is essential to carry out. To show further understanding of why primary research is essential, you need to expand on the points that you are making on why you surveyed 40 people in total
