Questionnaire Results

My survey also found that people are open to watching either one-offs or collections with 11/13 people selecting the option ‘collection’ or ‘either’

Storyline, style, soundtrack, originality and camera and editing are all important in short film with average ratings of 7-10

People generally like artistic, drama, quirky, comedy and music video genres in short film, at least 2 of which my films fall into

‘I access short film to look at new promising talent and find new and original pieces, I also like there to be a theme or interpretation and the idea of metaphors really interests me’

‘They seem to fit the type of short film I like to watch’

‘They sound interesting’

‘They are good themes for a short film’

‘The idea sounds fairly original and different from what I’ve seen before’

‘I’ll watch them depending on what the opening shot looks like, that way I can tell whether it’s the style of film I watch’

‘Its interesting and I would like to learn more about it’

A topic which everyone can relate to in some way, like the idea interpretation of the human mind, could be very complicated but interesting!

Responses to questionnaire – ‘Would you be interested in watching a collection of films which

share the theme 'interpretations of the human mind?'This collection contains 4 films which all use metaphors to

express ideas of thoughts, feelings, childhood, memories and dreams.’
