Personal comment

This is a template of the questionnaire that my team member edd has made. I handed it out so that I could learn what people believe to be the main factors of an entertaining film. This helped me as I was able to use the information I gained to produce I better film opening that will play on the factors that people most like and try to avoid things that people dislike. i learned from my results that people that fit into my target audience enjoy films that have action and a gripping storyline i hope that our film has both of these.
