Media Studies
I went around distributing a questionnaire for the
audience to fill in. I gave it to my friends, cousins, neighbors and my school
teachers too. Some were teenagers while the rest were adults. It was a good experience and a healthy
survey. I got to know about people’s personal likings about chick flicks. What
I generally got to know was that people do like chick flicks a lot but they
like other movies too. They liked film openings of different movies rather than
just the chick flicks. Most of the people generally demand a film consisting of
their hot favorite actors and a good story is a major attraction for them.
While the rest demand for other things like lighting, sounds, effects, etc.
