Questionnaire Conclusions

In our group we came up with a questionnaire then gave it out to 30 different people. Below you will be able to see that we have tallied up the answers and made pie charts/graphs showing out answers. I decided to use a Slide Rocket to show these results. We then filmed people answering questions from our questionnaire.

Target Audience Research

In order to find out what our target audience likes about t-shirts and to find out more about them, in our groups we constructed a questionnaire to hand out to 30 different people. This would inform us on what they like about t-shirts and their favourite t-shirt, it will also inform us more on how to apeal to them more when we create our secondary research and documentary.
Below you will be able to see the questionnaire we handed out to people. You will also be able to see a few interviews which we took, asking them the same questions as we asked on the questionnaire. We have used both audio and video.

Initial Plans

In class we were put into groups of three. These groups will be who we will work with to create our documentary's. We had to decide on the following:

  • Topic for our documentary 
  • Type of documentary
  • A target audience 
  • Channel and scheduling  
  • A title for the documentary
Our group decided to make our documentary on t-shirts. We created a brainstorm explaining what we would talk about in the documentary. below is a picture of that brainstorm.


We decided the type of documentary we will make will be mixed.
Our target audience will be both male and female between the ages of 16 and 25.
We will broadcast our documentary on BBC Three between the times on 9pm-9:30pm on a Wednesday night.
The title we have decided on a a group at the moment will be 'The T-Shirt Industry' however this may change as we go further into out work.

My 2nd Own Documentary Analysis

Here I had to chose another documentary to analise myself in my own time, I chose 'Thelma's Gypsy Girls'. Below is a Slide Share where I have explained the important themes which include mise-en-scene, camerawork, narrative structure, sound, archive material, editing and the type of documentary. I have used pictures from the documentary which will help you to understand what I am talking about.
