Once upon a time

How old are you?

The most amount of people of ages is 16 to 20 yrs old. This is why our target audience is aged around these ages.

Male or Female?

There were more females that we asked to do are questionnaire but even though this graph shows that there are more female than male who answered the questionnaire the documentary still needs to be for females and males.

Occupation?

The largest occupation of people that we asked were students and then it was teachers. This goes with the age of the people because mainly 16 to 20 yrs old are students.

What is your favourite colour?

The most popular colours were pink and purple which had six people pick them each and then it was red which had five. For our product we will need to use the colours that are the highest amount. However, pink and purple are stereotypical of being female colours so we would also need to use some others colours so then it would be suitable for women and men.

What is your favourite song?

The song / artist that people have as their favourite singers / bands are Westlife and Stereophonics, so when we are using music for are documentary we would need to look at songs from these two different artists and see which works best for our documentary.

What is your favourite television channel?

People's favourite television channel is ITV1. From using these results we have decided to have our documentary on ITV1 because it is the most popular by the people that we asked and also it works with our target audience.

What time of day do you normally watch television?

This graph shows that people usual watch TV in the evening, so that is why we have decided to have our show played at 8pm on Wednesday because it would be between emerdale and coronation street so then the people who have just watched emerdale and don't want to turn the channel over until after coronation street would then watch our documentary.

What day do you normally watch television?

Most people said that that they mainly watch TV on Monday to Friday so we have decided to have our documentary on a Wednesday at 8pm which would mean that the documentary would be between emerdale and coronation street.

Do you read?

Mainly everyone we asked do read but there was still quite an amount who do not read and two people who read sometimes.

Do you prefare films or books?

The amount of people that we asked alot of them mainly all of them would rather watch a film rather than read a book but then there was still like eight people who would rather read a book.

What do you do in your spare time?

Because of mainly everyone we aksed was 16 to 20 yrs old it then makes sense that the most thing that people do in their spare time is going out and then it is doing sports or going to watch a film.

Why do you think reading became less popular?

The main reason that reading has become less popular is technology because people have said that it is, computers, films, TV and then also games.

Do you remeber the first book you read?

This is a very vaired amount of people because some people have mainly read the same book as someone else and also it depended on what these people were like when they were children.

When did you last buy a book? What was it?

This is also a very varied amount because lots of people read at different speeds and also some people are always buying new books rather than reading older books.

Has the standard of english decreased since of popularity of reading fell?

Mainly everyone we asked said that reading has decreased since less people started to read books because of technology.

Do you prefare paper books or an electronic book? and why?

What do you associate with reading?
