Questionnaire results

once we had created a questionnaire with certain questions on it, we then gave it out to six members of the public to fill the sheet out for us. This table below is the feedback that we received.

As you can see for each question there was fair amounts of answers. The first question you can see that more people were actually aware of the course and interested than the people who were aware and not interested or not aware at all. This is good results for us as we now know that the promotional video will be helpful to people as they are interested in the creative media course and they are already partly aware of it, so seeing more information on this particular course will intrigue them.

The second question which is all about the time period of a promotional video, as you can see all of the possible answers were equal as two people voted for each answer. Although the first possible answer to this question which is ‘o – 30 seconds’ probably wouldn’t be the best promotional video as 30 seconds is not enough time to promote the course as succesfully as we would like to, so as long as we use either the ’30 seconds – 1 minute’ or ‘1 minute – 2 minutes’ then the public would be happy with either of them.

The third question was asking the public if they had ever seen a promotional video for colleges around there area.This question again received equal amounts of answers as three people hadnt seen any promotional videos before and three other people had. The reason why we asked this question was to just see wether people were aware of promotional videos for college and so they would be able to opinion our finished promotional video against the others they perhaps had seen, so to see what had worked and maybe what had not worked.

The fourth question on the questionnare was asking if the public lived locally to the cheadle and marple sixth form, cheadle campus area.This was so that if people were interested in the college and creative media course then they would know exactly where that we are located. Again for this question there were an equal amount of answers as three people did live locally to the cheadle campus and three people did not live locally. Although they don’t live locally to the campus they can obviusly still attend here and find out exactly where we are, this has just basically helped us out as now we know that perhaps at the end of the video we could add the address of the campus on to it so people who don’t live locally know where to find us.

The fifth question was asking the public what they preferred out of a video which is full of interviews and talks from past or present students, or a video which is more of a music video typed video which describes the college. However four out of six people preffered a music video typed video as this one is obviusly more entertaining and less boring for the audience watching. Where as if it was just a say minute long video all on just talks of a student speaking about the creative media course then brains would tend to switch off and instead of carrying on viewing this video they would probably just click on another video to watch as this one would simply be too boring. We know now that when it comes to creating the video it will need to be more on the entertaining side to keep the audience awake.

One question that we did not add on to the results table a page above was ‘What would you like to see within a promotional video?’ the reason why we did not add this into the table was because it was a question where the six people had to write down their own opinions on what they would like to see. So below Is some quoted answers that we received:

1 questionnaire : ‘”Lots of music and creativity happening”

Another questionnaire: “General information to what the course is about, that is interesting at the same time”

Another questionnaire: “A tour around the college if possible”

Above are literally just three of peoples personal opinions but we have put into consideration all six of publics opinions and are hopefully going to put in a little bit of what the public suggested so that it suits everybody, but at the same time we are still going to try and keep it to an entertaining video as we know that this is what the public enjoy.

The last question on the questionnaire was “The college campus is an important part of the college which we like to take care of. Does the college campus reflect your overall opinion on studying here?”. We asked this question as we wanted to know whether the building of the Cheadle campus and environment would reflect peoples studying here. So whether they think the college is to small or old and are wanting a more modern and huge college that holds more students and has a list of different creative media opportunities; perhaps they prefer a college with more eating facilities such as small cafes dotted around the campus and not just a small canteen. The results that we gained from the public were again equal as three people said that yes it does reflect their overall studying and three other people said that it does not. This is one of those 50/50 type questions and answers as it literally depends on the person and the types of environments that they are normally use to and want to learn in. However no matter how big or small a building is it does not matter what the college structure is like it literally depends on the students’ abilities and how hard that they work within the courses that they are studying.
