2. Quantitative Research...
• Quantitative research is a summary of
questions that aims to gather a range of short
answers. This method of questions aims to get
answers faster which is helpful as it is a
quicker mode of research.
3. Primary & Secondary research
• I have used both Primary and Secondary research
to ensure I receive the most effective feedback.
• Primary research is any research that you have
done personally, where as, Secondary research is
research that has already been done by others,
that you then go onto use. These forms of
research can be found through videos, blogs, the
internet, questionnaires, etc...
4. Type of research I am undertaking...
• I used object-orientated questions so that I
would have a better understanding of what
peoples opinions are on opening titles.
• This would then help me to construct my
opening title sequence as I will have a clear
knowledge of what people want to see and
what they don’t want to see.
5. 1. What is your gender?
Gender
Female
Male
•The balance of gender was
evidentially more females
then males.

towards a female
demographic or a male one.
•However, these results are
fine as my intro is aimed
towards a both genders.

spread of candidates from the
older age groups, with the
majority of results coming
from my target demographic
for my intro which is 10 – 20
category.

key themes and issues in
my intro.

your current occupation?

being 12 results instead
of 11 is because one of
the full time students also
has a job.

impact.

to get more results from
employed people as they
may have a better
understanding of some of
the themes and issues in
my intro.

life as it really is?
Sales

will be able to efficiently.
