Audience Questionnaire

As part of my Media Studies coursework I am going to be producing a

short action film. I am currently gathering research from my target
audience on their preferences in the genre as well as what they look for in
an enjoyable short film. Thank you for your help.
The story is about a child who is playing with his toy soldiers in a toy
forest. He places the soldiers in the forest and then we see the action from
the ground with two characters shooting each other. The two soldiers are
actually the child (Michael) and his older brother (Marcus). A massive nerf
shoot out takes place and this is representative of what is going on in
Michael imagination. Suddenly, he is called to eat his lunch and so has to
leave his toys.
