Questionaire

ASThis is a film questionaire I did with Lianna, its main purpose was to find out about peoples Film Habits and what they like, for example we asked how many times do you visit the cinema per year. I Thought a year would be a good time range to put, because we discovered not everyone goes every month but most people go at least once a year. We asked 10 people because this would give us a more understanding about the average teenagers film habits. We found out doing this that most people agree with the same things, i think the questionaire went well. I predicted what the majority of people would choose in each catogary, being a teenager they are most likely to have the same thoughts as me.
