This is the questionnaire that we gave to some people around college, our family and family friends so that we could get an idea of how often they watch film and what type of films they like to watch. We also asked them what they thought of certain issues that we are exploring in our short film. I think the questions relating to the issues could have been phrased better or a little differently, as people commented on these questions not being worded well. "What do you think of child abuse?" nobody is obviously going to say that it is a good thing, so to have worded it differently to get another type of opinion would have been better.
