Questionnaire

We constructed a questionnaire to carry out so that we can get some idea of what the audience of a western would like the film to be about. We will carry out this questionnaire and then, if need be, change our narrative structure and storyboards accordingly so that they coincide with what the feedback from the questionnaires tell us that the audience want to see.

We will ask 6 people our questionnaires, 3 that are fans of westerns and 3 that aren't, this way we will get a range of opinions and hopefully get feedback that will allow us to produce a western that appeals to a wider audience. The stereotypical target audience for westerns is young/middle aged men however we will ask people from a variety of age groups and of both genders in an attempt to make it attract a larger audience.
