Are you male or female?

Questionnaire Quantitative data

Are you male or female?

I asked this question so that I had an idea of how many males and females I used to collect my overall results. So, it was essential that I had both sets of gender, rather than one set, so that I get viewpoints from both. I had a sample of 5 females and 6 males.

What is your age group?

I decided to look at a range of age groups that went from 12-15 to 26+, this was because I felt that having a selection of ages will give me an overview of what both young as well as older people think of my trailer. Also, although my trailer was targeted towards a younger demographic, having other age groups helped me make a good comparison.

How often do you watch soap operas?

This gave me an idea of how frequently people watch Soap Operas, so I can identify the difference of thought between someone who usually watches Soaps, and someone who doesnt necessarily watch Soaps whatsoever. The results demonstrated that 54.55% watched it daily, 36.36% did not watch it and finally 9.09% watched it monthly. This therefore gave me viewpoints from people who watch it every single day.

What themes are commonly used within a soap opera?

Having themes within a Soap is key because they influence the direction of the Soap opera as a whole. The results illustrate that the majority believe that conflict (36.36%) is a common factor, whilst a small amount believe that there are other factors (9.09%).

Was mise en scene used in a unique manner?

Mise en scene includes factors such as: environment, props and costumes. The results indicate that a large amount of people believed that mise en scene was used in a unique way (81.82%), whilst only 18.18% said it was not used uniquely.

Was the digetic/non-digetic sound used effectively?

The digetic/non-digetic sound was used throughout the trailer, and so the verbal/non-verbal code was crucial to create the overall tension of the trailer. The results suggests that 72.73% believe sound was used effectively, whereas 27.27% said that it was not used effectively. So, next time I intend to make sure that the sound is used in a more efficient way.

What camera movement intrigued you the most?

This question allowed me to retrieve information from the audience on what they felt was the most intriguing camera movement. The results concluded that 36.36% felt zooming was the best shot, others felt pan was used effectively with 36.36%, and finally Dolly and others were matched 18.18%.

Was the camera movement within the soap parallel with the non-digetic sound?

This question was essential to include because I personally feel that having the non-digetic sound being parallel with my soap allows the trailer to flow better in general. The results shows that 100% of people feel that it was parallel.

How was the pace of the soap opera?

The pace of the trailer determined the types of emotion that will be felt throughout the trailer. The results revealed that 72.73% felt it was fast and energetic, whilst 27.27% felt it was slow and tense.

Was the soap opera trailer original?

This question was essential because as a group we looked to create a Soap that was different compared to what BBC 2 distribute on their channel. The results connote that the majority felt that my Soap trailer was original (90.91%) and there was a differentiation between my own Soap and others. On the other hand some felt that it was not original (9.09%) and so similar to other soaps.
