Changes:

Question3) some people had more than one favourite and despite it stating to only tick one,

some people ticked more than one. Therefore, the question was changed to allowing people to

tick more than one.

Question 7) many people found it difficult to understand the question and/or some people

ignored the instructions and ticked more than one box if they had watched the movie.

Therefore, we changed the question to asking the audience whether they had watched any of

the following. We were particularly interested in finding out whether people had watched

‘Gothika’ as it is similar to ‘Mind Games’.
