Our Questionnaire Results

We have managed to finally collect the results of our questionnaire, and have formulated tables and graphs below. The main problem we encountered with this part, was the fact that it took so long to collect the results in and make the graphs, and once again we find ourselves behind the deadlines we originally set from our Production Schedule. We will endeavour to work hard in the coming weeks with hope that we can manage to stick to the deadline.

Our Questionnaire

The basic draft of our questionnaire has been complete and has been uploaded below.
By questioning the target audience for our music video, we will also be able to estimate whether they will enjoy the style of video that we intend to make, which could be important in us establishing a "Hegemonic Reading", in terms of the Encoding/Decoding model.
We will hand out the questionnaire today, and collect the results and formulate tables/graphs as soon as we can.

Media Questions

So far in media i have learnt how to develop my writing skills and how to watch clips of film and write about the on going's in the clip.
I consider my strengths in media to be crime film as i enjoyed this topic and found out alot of research about it, crime film also gave me a very good grade in my media coursework last year.
I feel i could develop my skills on photoshop more as i have not used it as much as i would of liked. I am confident using final cut HD as i used it alot last year and learnt new things using it as i developed my film.
In AS i have learnt you need to concentrate hard and make notes on things and there is much to learn. This helped me to get an ok grade in my exams.
In my coursework last year i got a B, in the exam i got a D, my overall grade was a C. I aim to work harder and get a better grade for A2 this year.
