QUESTIONNAIRE ABOUT SHOW AND OUR TARGET AUDIENCE
From the questionnaire we could confirm that our target audience of 15-20 as our main target audience which was what we selected as our target audience before hand. With the knowledge of our target audiences age, we can alter the show to fit more to them and work with what differences they want in the show. For interest we also asked their gender, learning that many of the audience were male although this will not affect how our show is targeted, it still being aimed for both males and females.
Many of the responses discussing what they would like to see on our show was about different games and having fun which is the main premise of our show, allowing us to continue using this idea to entertain the audience. Another thing we confirmed was that the audience would like to see 3 to 4 rounds in the show, allowing us to alter slightly as we were planning to do 3 rounds and will most likely stick to that pattern but shows where the audiences attention span sits. Along with this, when we asked if they watched quiz shows most of our responses were that they sometimes watch them which shows that it depends on the host and the feel of the show, something we will have to keep in mind.
One thing that didn't fit our 80's theme was the set, many of the responses liking the set of 'On The Spot' by RoosterTeeth which is more modern and casual than what we wanted to represent. With the understanding of what the audience want to see and with what shows they prefer such as QI, we are altering our set to be more modern and abandoning the 80's theme to fit the audience as we are currently having issues with the 80's theme and decided it would be more fitting to adjust to the audience.
Although in 'On The Spot' they don't have tables for the guests like we wanted to create for ours, the layout of the guests and the hosts work well. In this show they need to stand up to do forfeits for different sections of the show, this layout giving the availability that we won't need for our own show but shows that they have planned their layout in advance. With seeing what the audience preferred for set pieces we all agreed on going with this simplistic layout and to abandon the 80's theme, which is more modern and casual than what we wanted to represent beforehand but with the understanding of what the audience want to see and the issues we have been facing with an 80's theme, this seems like the most viable option.
The results of our questionnaire were helpful as they discussed what we needed to think about and what ideas would work for our design. With the results given we have learnt that the target audience isn't interested in an 80s theme like we have planned so we are changing our plans of set pieces to make it more modern and to fit the audience better to get better reception from their attention.
