Questionnaire

Media & Audiences

I decided to produce a questionnaire to find out information on what gender has seen Mean girls the most and what gender liked the movie the most. I had 8 questionnaires and decided to give them out to four girls and four boys.

The outline of my questionnaire.

Questionnaire

How old are you? 

16 - 19    20 - 23     23+

What do you like about the movie mean girls?

The characters

The plot

The soundtrack

Other:

Do you identify with the characters?

Yes    No 

Who is your favorite character in Mean girls?

Cady Heron   Regina George  Karen Smith  Gretchen Wieners 

Other: 

Do you think this movie is mostly liked by girls?

Yes     No

Were there any scenes you found relatable?

Yes    No 

Do you feel like you relate to some of the characters in the film

Yes   No

What I discovered from my questionnaire is that most of the females liked the characters and identified with them whereas the boys did not identify with the characters at all and found the movie to be a movie that is mostly relatable towards females. A lot of the guys circled yes on the 5th question and some of the guys wanted me to show them the trailer again to be reminded as to what was present in the movie. 

From my questionnaire answers, it presented that the girl audience overtakes the boy audience as most of the females I questioned knew a lot about the film and found it interesting whereas the boys could not even recognize a character in the film or remember what occurred in the scenes.
