1. WHAT IS YOUR GENDER?

Male
Female

Myself (SA) and Monisha Roy, have decided that our

Questionnaire 1 will consist of precisely 100
participants of which 50 will be female and the
remaining half male. We have both chosen to
construct our questionnaire in this particular style ,
as it will determine a clear view on film admiration
from both genders. We have used bar charts in the
following slides where male participants are
represented in grey and female in orange colors
furthermore allowing us to compare their responses
enabling us to see if the stereotypical approach
society takes on representation of gender views on
film is honest or not.
For example, stereotypically the male gender is
represented to be drawn towards action movies
rather then the romance genre. This could perhaps
represent a mans physical strength hinting at the
dominance over women and their emotional
instabilities represented within most, if not all films.
Usually woman represented as damsel in distress
and dependent of a man to rescue them.
Stereotypically woman are represented to be drawn
into the romance genre which in societys view
conveys womans aspirations in life overall; they are
represented as the weaker sex. However within our
questionnaire, you will find that the responses from
our participants beat this stereotype therefore this

To begin with we have also

decided to hand out our
questionnaire within school
facilities to participants ranging
from Year 7 (11 years old) to
staf ( the oldest 54 years old).
However we believed that it is
also important to handout our
questionnaire to participants
outside of school facilities, such
as family members (retired) and
random people within our
community fitting to the age
ranges. We believe that the
wide range of opinions from all
age groups will allow us to gain a
wider understanding of the
diferences of film admiration.

from the
precious
question, as
you can see

We believed that is important to

understand how often our
participants watch movies
therefore we can establish
weather our research is valid. For
example is a participant does not
watch movies their responses to
our question may be dishonest
and not as efective. Therefore
before we handed out our
questionnaire, we have asked
weather the participant actually
watches movies at all. As you can
tell from the bar chart displayed
on the left hand side, we have no
participants included that do not
watch movies. We believe that
this made our collected data
reliable and efficient.

From this question

we found that the
promotional methods
of Film Reviews,
Posters and Actors
are most efective.
We do not have
famous actors within
out film therefore our
group has decided to
promote our short
film through Movie
Posters as well as a
Film Review.

8.) WHAT GENRE FILMS DO YOU DISLIKE? WHAT MAKES THESE

MOVIES YOUR LEAST FAVORITE?! AND QUESTION 9.) 9. WHAT ARE
YOUR 3 LEAST FAVORITE MOVIES AND TO WHICH GENRE WOULD YOU
SAY THEY BELONG TO?
According to question 6, myself (SA) and Monisha Roy (MR) have gathered that the majority of participants
had shown less/lack of interest in the Western, Biography, Musical weather female or male. The list of
movies displayed below emphasizes our evidence conducted throughout our Questionnaire 1.

Twilight (Romance, Fantasy) and High School Musical (Romance, Musical) Even though our previous
bar chart conducted within question 6 suggested that Western, Biography and Musical are our
participants least favorite movie genres, and even though the Romance genre is displayed to be highly
admired, we have found that particular films belonging to that genre such as Twilight and High School
Musical, as examples are shockingly disliked. Below are some of the example answers of why these two
example movies are disliked as well other example movie.

Participant 1: Christian High School Musical just annoys me. I hate the fact that people would just start
and break out singing and dancing in the middle of their sentence. Not realistic whatsoever people do not do
that in real life. I found that when I got to High School myself and it was nothing like that. Disappointed ha ha
ha!
Participant 2: Chad Twilight is a ridiculously stupid movie as the plot is clich and boring due to the very
predictable story and lack of relatable characters. The choice of actors and actresses is completely stupid as
they have no EMOTION.
Participant 3: Meredith Twilight is a stupid clich with nothing relatable at all. The fact that the vampire
sparkles and all we see of the werewolf is his abs most of the time proves to us all that the film is stupid and
has no storyline. As well as that, it implies that women are always craving men and need them to survive.
OVERALL, the film is filled with poop.
Participants 4: Han-Sun - I am a fan of the HSM movies, BUT was disappointed with the last one (number
3). I feel like the storyline didnt focus much on the other characters but only on gabriellas story. It didnt
have the same comedy as the previous movies and seemed more serious. It was something unexpected and
not enjoyable. The movie ended with a clich of them singing altogether. It was a predictable ending.

Clearly we are unable

to display our short
film on TV or cinema
therefore we have
decided for our
distribution method
we would record our
film on a CD/DVD and
our main distribution
will be online. We
have also considered
showing the recorded
CD/DVD of our final
product during a
school assembly
therefore we can gain
audience feedback.
