Creating A Lovely Survey!

Our group took it upon ourselves to create a survey regarding the 'Thriller' genre, uncovering the public's attitudes towards thrillers, including their expectations, as well as their favourite thriller sub-genres. This survey was essential to growing a fundamental understanding of what our opening should include, based upon our participants responses. First of all, we made a 'Draft Survey' to brainstorm ideas for the questions we were to pose the unexpecting public; initially, it looked a little like what you see below:

The draft survey established the sort of questions we wished to quiz a range of people on; it included various statistical questions (such as questions related to gender and age) to ensure we achieved a stratified sample. Moreover, the survey envisaged to uncover what the sample's favourite type of thriller sub-genre; this would ensure that we found the current taste in regards to what kind of thriller people enjoyed, ensuring we did an opening that was popular, as well as contemporary. Finally, we asked what society would expect from the opening of a thriller; this would help us to grasp what types of music, lighting, editing were applicable to modern-day popular thrillers as well as ensuring what kind of content those opening two minutes should feature. Using this initial survey, we could then lay the foundations of our proper live survey:

Our live, complete survey ensured that we get a number of responses through a link to our online survey, shared through social networking such as Facebook, Twitter etc. We utilised our draft survey effectively, ensuring that responses could be filled out using the answer boxes such as:- 

- Multiple Choice

- Check Boxes

- Word Answer Boxes

- Paragraph Answer Boxes

Our finished survey evaluation shall (hopefully) be able to be written up soon-ish...
