Elephants Dream Short Film

This short film inspired me because right from the beginning it draws the reader in by building mystery about who the characters are and where they are.

Quantitative Questionnaire Results

The first question was 'Do you enjoy watching short films?' Five out the eight questioned answered yes whereas only three answered no. This shows that a majority of the people interviewed enjoy watching short films.



The second question was 'Do you enjoy watching short films with a meaningful message behind them?’ All eight people questioned said that they did enjoy this. This shows that I may have to consider having a meaningful message in my short film because one hundred percent of the people questioned enjoy this.



The third question was 'Would you go out of your way to watch a short film?' Only three out of eight people questioned answered yes which means five people questioned answered no. This means that my short film may have to be unique to attract a greater audience and to encourage them to go out of their way to watch my short film.



The fourth question was 'Do you know what a short film is?' Six people answered yes and three people answered no. This shows that a majority of the people questioned knows what a short film is.



The fifth question was 'Do you like watching fast paced extracts of film?' Six people answered yes and only two people answered no. This shows that a majority of people enjoy fast paced extracts of film which means I could consider doing this in my short film.



The sixth question was 'Do you like the drama genre?' Out of the eight questioned, five people said that they did like the drama genre and three said they did not like it. This shows that the drama genre is reasonably popular.



The seventh question was 'Do you like the thriller genre?' All eight people questioned said that they do like the thriller genre. This shows that thriller is more popular than drama and may be beneficial for me to base my short film on the thriller genre.

Questionnaire Results

I asked a total of eight people to fill out both my qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative produced a far greater amount of results than the quantitative questionnaire because all the question were open which means a greater amount of results could be recorded. Even though this look a vast amount more time than asking the quantitative questionnaire it produced better results which means it will help me greatly in my research.
