Audience Research

For my audience research I conducted a survey on Survey Monkey and emailed out the survey to family and friends to answer. The survey asked various questions about film such as 'whats your favorite?' 'What was the best teen comedy?' 

I found from my research that the best teen comedy voted for was Mean Girls with American Pie not far behind. The most common favorite genre of film voted for was comedy and the the least favorite genre appeared to be musical as it got the least amount of votes. 

I also asked people why they liked that specific genre and the most common answers were 'Its funny and light heart ed', 'I'm always up for a laugh', 'It makes me happy when i'm sad and even more happy when i'm already in a good mood'.

I also asked people what their favorite film of 2015 was, I found that it was tied between Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Jurassic World. When I did more research into these films I found they both had a lot in common. For example, they are both based on a sci-fi, fictional topic (Dinosaurs and space), they are both action films and they both smashed the box office when they were released. Jurassic World is currently the third film int the world that is smashing the box office and Star Wars in currently number one. However one thing I found a bit baffling was that the most popular genre was comedy yet the 2015 comedy films were hardy touched for best film of 2015.
