In the next question we asked them Have you watched any school based comedies (list below) what did you like/dislike about them? We got 4 replies that referred to actually comedies and 10 replies that either werent appropriate or didnt really help however ironically this shows the kind of humour they like judging by the entertainment value they got out of answering a survey with immature humour so if we are going to appeal to this kind of age range we have to utilize that form of humour. I have colour coded the responses based on how appropriate they are and how useful here is the key to the responses below. White: means the response was inappropriate and potentially offensive and cant be viewed unless someone changes the colour of the text. This is so we can quickly analyze the responses that are based on peoples genuine opinions and so we dont offend anyone who reads our blogs. Blue: These replies are extremely useful and directly help the survey Green: The reply was serious however it didnt help the survey Black: a simple reply that doesnt help and you dont know if its genuine or not. Red: the reply was inappropriate or not relevant towards the survey however it wasnt offensive towards anyone

American Pie I liked how they played of teenage stereotypes so it directly related to me

10/16/2013 12:50 PM View respondent's answers

Just to clarify none of the responses are based on my opinions or the opinions of my colleagues I am working on this project with, and also does not represent the views of Canadia Productions or anyone of the people working under its name these are the Reponses to our survey from a variety of people and we do not condone any form of discrimination or offensive material towards anyone. The results of this survey indicate that if we want to appeal to an audience ranging from roughly 12-17 that we need to use sillier forms of humour as this survey shows that it is more entertaining than other forms. By looking at the films chosen the majority of those are very character driven and focused so in our title sequence we should try to write strong relatable characters as the responses show that they would prefer that kind of comedy. Our rating is 12 so we cant feature some of the stuff that they liked and requested to be in comedic movies however we can imply things like action to try and draw in a wider age range whilst keeping within the boundaries of the age rating that suits our title sequence.
