audience research (Questionnaire)

These are the questions I wanted my audience to answer in order to help me decide how to best portray my film.

Firstly I want to find out the audience ages so that I can see which age group my film would be most successful with so I know who to aim it at.

Then, I want to find out with which gender my film will be most successful with.

Once I have clarified who it is best to aim my film at I then want to find out how it would be best to portray the story and which style would best communicate my aim with the audience.  This is an example of the kind of questionnaire I will hand-out to my test group.
