Survey Monkey questionnaire

For part of my research , I designed a questionnaire on Survey monkey in an attempt to find out what my audience knew wanted from a short film. When I completed this online , I uploaded the survey on Facebook so I could get some results.These results will be uploaded shortly.

The questions I asked-
Do you enjoy watching short films?
Have you ever seen a short film?
Can you remember any short films you have enjoyed?
What do you think makes a successful short film?
What genre are you interested in?
How do you usually watch films?

Why did I choose these questions?
I chose these questions because I thought they would be helpful in understanding what is interesting about a short film and what creates audience interest.I wanted to know what the most popular short films were so I could take inspiration for my own.It was proved that Disney shorts , including Tangled ever after and Toy story, were favorites. I think this is maybe to do with the fact that Disney screens these shorts before the feature at a multiplex.I also found out that audiences generally felt that music was key in making a short successful.I think that this is because it can create emotion , from sadness to happiness.I decided to spend a longer period of time focusing on my score in order to please this large audience. During my research , I saw that television was popular way of viewing films.I think this is because it is easier to access and mostly cheaper than going to the cinemas. Overall , the general opinion I got was that many had seen shorts , but not a diverse range.

  1. Would be good to include the questions that you asked as part of this post as well as a rationale as to why you asked those particular questions.
