1. Genre survey results

2. Most of the people
who answered my
survey were female. I
shared this on two
social networking sites
and it could be that
possibly more females
took notice and time to
answer it. However I
did get enough male
answers to get relevant
information from my
survey.

3. I found that most
people who answered
my survey were in the
16-18 bracket, this
could possibly be
because I shared it on a
social networking site
so people my age were
the typical ones to see
it on there. However I
did manage to get older
and younger results
from family members
and friends.

4. I was very surprised by my
results as I thought most of
my feedback would favour
the comedy or romance
genre however it turns out
that over half prefer the
action genre over any other I
made available and in fact
none of my results favoured
romance at all! I am very
happy with this feedback
because I was contemplating
creating a romance trailer
and I would have attracted a
much smaller local audience
compared to the creation of
an action trailer.

5. I suspected that the audio
would be favoured on this
question because I
personally believe that audio
has a HUGE impact on any
trailer as it builds tension,
enhances storyline at grabs
the audiences attention.
However I did not think that
Range of shot types would
be so well favoured, I though
that characters and style
would be largely voted for.
Therefore, I now know to
include a wide range of
shots in my trailer.

6. It really surprised me that
romance was not voted for
as main trailer genre yet
was most successful for the
sub-genre votes. This
shows that an audience
may not want the whole
story to be about romance
but an element of it adds a
good impact to a
film/trailer. It did not
surprise me that comedy
as a sub-genre scored so
high, many people like to
be entertained when they
watch a trailer!
