Questionnaire Feedback

Before we decided on what type of film genre we were going to have, we decided to create a questionnaire that would help us choose. We wanted to ask teenagers male and female what types of films they enjoyed watching. We focused on chick flicks mainly, as we were intrested in seeing whether if attracted a male audience as well as females.
From looking at the reaction from our questionnaire the majority of our target audience are females, as they enjoyed this type of film. The girls also said they would take a male partner to see this type of film. Teenage girls and some of the boys tend to go to the cinema to see comedy films. From our questionnaire the reaction was very positive. Many of the people we asked liked the idea of an English version of a chick flick, instead of being too similar to an American chick flick. This was because different countries have different ways and if this film was made in England it would be easier for our audience to relate too.
We wanted to know whether the audience wanted to see a fight over a love interest, as this is a iconic situation within a teen film. We wanted to find out specifically if they wanted to see two guys fighting over a girl, or two girls fighting over a guy. They chose the idea of two girls fighting over a guy because this would have a more comedy aspect to it, as the girls in chick flick tend to have over the top cat fights, which is very bitchy and this would make it alot more entertaining to watch from an audiences perspective. In addition to this idea, the girls we asked felt that this situation would be more relateable to them as they could imagine themselves in a similar situation. This quesitonnaire really helped us decide what was best. It also made us feel more confident about our ideas, we also think that the use of generic signifiers would make the film easier to relate to, for example the popular bitchy character "Chelsea" would wear provocative clothing and the geeky character "Lily" would wear casual, baggy clothing. So therefore it is easy to see the difference between the two social groups. Teenagers also like to see the Bitchy girl destroyed, and the geeky girl move further up the social ladder.
