POST QUESTIONNAIRE GRAPHS

1. WHAT IS YOUR GENDER?

65%

35%

Female Male

It is evident that our sample was predominantly made up of females. From this, we can see that our film is more appealing to the female population than the males. This may have been because of the incorporation of a female protagonist which enticed the female viewers. Although there is still evidence of a percentage of male viewers which suggests that Replica did not just attract the attention of one gender.

As expected, most of the respondents fit into the age bracket of 15-20. This was anticipated because everyone within the production company is aged between 15 to 20 so we are more likely to attract our peers as well as people our age. This is good to see because it illustrates that Replica is relatable to people of our age. We did not think that anyone over the age of 35 would respond as we do not target anybody of that age.

Yes NoYes 8No 12

Mental health is one of the main issues within our production as it controls the actions of the protagonist. As this was not clear to 60% of the respondents, it shows that perhaps we should have adopted other methods to depict this. This helps to explain why there was a higher percentage of people who did not find the narrative clear; they did not understand the mental instability of the protagonist.
