Questionnaire Analysis.

The questionnaire I conducted resulted in the majority of the participants being ages 15-17 years old. Consequently, on reflection I wanted my production to be targeted to this age group effectively. This has helped me to consider how many horrific scenes I am able to show to this age group without it being inappropriate for their age.
