I created this questionnaire to be handed out to friends, acquaintances and family members in order to gain insight into what my audience expects to see from a short film.
My target audience is broad, and my film is supposed to have a wide appeal, so I made sure my questionnaire was answered by people of different ages and genders.

1. What age category do you fall into?
14 or under/15-19/20-29/30-39/40-49/50+

2. Would you consider yourself a fan of the film medium?
Yes/No

3. Do you enjoy short films when they are aired before features in cinemas (for example the Pixar shorts)?
Yes/No/Sometimes

4. Do you prefer when films, specifically short films, have a comic element to them, or do you prefer serious drama?
Comic/Dramatic

5. In a short, do you prefer to see fast paced cutting, with many different shots in a short amount of time, or a slower paced affair with more thinking time?
Fast Paced/Slower Paced

6. Do you believe dialogue to be a necessary feature in short films, especially in terms of a narrative?
Dialogue Necessary/Dialogue Unnecessary

7. Do you enjoy music illustrative of the events on screen in shorts, no music, or merely incidental music that is separate to the events on screen?
Illustrative/No Music/Non-Illustrative Incidental

8. Do you prefer film credits to be displayed at the opening of the film, the end or does it not affect you either way?
Opening/End/Unconcerned
