What makes a teen comedy funny?
Where would you prefer to watch a teen comedy?
19 people have ticked the multiplex cinema option. This is because most films watched by teenagers (who the majority of people who took the questionnaire were) are mainstream/blockbusters which are mainly shown in multiplexes.
Conclusion: These graphs have been extremely useful in giving us an idea of what an audience expect from a teen comedy. We will take the results into consideration when finalising decisions such as, the settings, characters and themes. To improve our questionnaire we would give it out on a wider scale, concentrating on a more diverse range of people and focusing on how the age and genders of the people affect their answers.
What age bracket do you fall into?
From this we can see that most people who filled out our questionnaire were of ages 16-24. This is useful as this is our intended target audience.
What do you think is the best way to promote a teen comedy and why?
This graph shows us that the most useful way to promote a teen comedy is through use of theatrical trailers and television spot. This is because the trailer would be shown in a film screening within the same age rating and genre. And at this point in time television is one of the most effective and popular forms of media and communication; this is particularly appropriate for the 16-24 age group. It also emphasises how the audience are persuaded to watch a film. These are the most effective ways of advertising.
How much would you be prepared to pay to watch a teen comedy?
As you can see, the £5-10 category is most popular. One of the reasons for this may be because the 16-24 age group were the majority of people who filled out the questionnaire, and they are among the lowest earners in the population.
What type of setting do you expect to see in a teen comedy?This graph shows us that a high school and party setting is most expected in a teen comedy. Our film idea uses a work place as one of the main locations, even though it is the least ticked option. However, we aim to create a non-generic film idea reflecting an original spirit to the genre.
What type of characters do you expect to see in a teen comedy?What storylines/themes would you expect to see in a teen comedy?
This graph shows us that dilemma is the most expected theme when viewing a teen comedy. This is again, in keeping with our storyline as our main characters find themselves in a huge dilemma which takes up the majority of the story. Sex was the most popular ‘other’, as teen comedies tend to show younger characters struggling with their sexual identities which emulate comic elements.
