Preliminary Task: Survey

Here is the link to take my survey.
I created a survey on 'Survey Monkey'. This contained questions asking about teenage drama films, as for my Preliminary task I wanted to create a scene that would feature in a teenage drama.

Survey results:
A total of 9 people participated in my survey online. 8 were female, and 1 was male. I specifically asked teenagers to participate. Their ages ranged from 14 - 17. 14 = 1, 17 = 1, 15 = 2, 16 = 5

None of them responded with "no" to watching teen drama films. 33.3% said yes, with 44.4% saying "sometimes" and only 22.2% saying "not really", suggesting that it is a popular genre. Everyone said that they watch teen drama films more than once a year. The highest scoring option was "every few months" with 33.3% with the lowest at 11.1% which was "every week" and "every month".

Responses for why people would go to see a teen drama at the cinema:

• if it looked good
• I find them entertaining as long as there is a good plot that doesn't feel like too much of a cliche, and if not all characters are stereotypes
• if there was an actor in it that I like
• if someone invited me to go with them

Responses for why people would not go to see a teen drama at the cinema:

• if my friends weren't going
• I don't have enough money
• I don't want to spend my money on it

33.3% said they had seen a teen drama a few months ago. Everyone said they had seen a teen drama this year.

Not everyone answered what music they would expect to see in an argument in a teen drama as it was an optional question, and many participants said they found it a hard question to answer.
Responses:

• fast paced, lower pitched, not too loud or high
• depends on the characters, the argument and the scene. Probably rock/pop music or a sad instrumental
• lots of drum fills or something somber that almost clashes with the scene
• anything in a minor key, maybe fast-paced music
• something dramatic

I asked about the camera angles, however not many people were sure how to answer this question as they did not know about the different types of camera angles.

Responses:

• The moving ones, like in Glee where it's like they're the students
• Basic camera angles, nothing too fancy
• Mostly close ups
• Close ups for more intense scenes

I had a question about how many main characters were preferable in a teen drama and surprisingly no one said one. The highest scoring answer was 3 with 44.4%. 22.2% said they didn't mind, and the same amount said 4-6. The lowest was 2 with 11.1%.

44.4% said they wanted the characters in the teen drama film to be a few years older than them. No one wanted younger. 11.1% said their age, and 11.1% said one year older than them. 33.3% said they didn't mind.
