Primary ResearchQuestionnaire

This is the questionnaire which I handed out for people to answer via survey monkey. On the following pages are an in depth analysis on the results from each question.

Question 1

My first question was whether people thought watching a world record attempt was exciting. Out of 11 answers, 100% of people said yes. This has lead me to believe I have chosen the right idea in terms of my 4 initial ideas. In addition to this it has given me the confidence to try and break a world record.

Question 2I included my second question in order to find out what type of world record I should break. The primary reason in which I decided to include the 3 options was due to the fact that I felt comfortable with all 3. Prior to receiving the results I was edging towards a ‘food challenge’ because of my ability to eat food in large amounts and very quickly. As the results show, over 90% of people would rather see a food challenge over the other two.

Question 3I used question 3 in order to find out what type of music I could use in my documentary. Prior to this questionnaire I was planning to use copyright free music from the YouTube channel ‘ByeByeCopyRight’, however after analysing the questionnaire results, the feedback clearly states that over 70% of people would rather see the instrumentals of popular songs e.g. Justin Bieber. However the only problem with that would be legal issues. In addition to this 18% of people stated they would like to hear unknown instrumentals, therefore giving my the option to vary the music I use in the documentary.

Question 4Colour is important in videos due to the fact that it’s a factor in which keeps audiences engaged, especially with a young audience like mine. Therefore I felt it was important to get an input on the colours used within the video. Over 54% of people felt that the main colour scheme of the video should be blue. However 36% of people felt that a muticoloured theme should be used. Personally I feel that, if I use a muticoloured scheme, it would take the focus off the video itself, but on the contrary it may add additional excitement to the documentary.

Question 5The penultimate question, was based on what clothing the presenter should wear. If presenter lead, the presenter would of course be me, due to the fact that I am the one attempting the world record. The feedback from this question was difficult due to the fact that there were two close answers. 45% of people chose ‘casual clothing’, whilst 36% chose ‘smart casual’. In addition to this 18% of people felt that a ‘themed outfit’ would be most appropriate. After receiving this information, I may have to conduct another questionnaire/vox pop in order to find a definite answer.

Question 6The last question was also about the presenter, but was mainly about presenter style. I included the following choices due to the fact that I feel that those are the style I feel most confident with. In terms of the results, I couldn’t have hoped for better, with over 60% of people voting for ‘funny’. The last film I made, I presented in a funny manor, and received great feedback. Hopefully I receive the same, if not better this time round.
