Vox Pop Quantitative Analysis

Question 1: Have you watched any films like ill Manors, Kidulthood, Adulthood and This Is England?


  • The majority of people we asked had watched films and similar films to the ones we listed, which was good as they had the mindset to answer the upcoming questions. Adulthood was a popular film amongst the interviewees, concluding they liked Adulthood the most.
  • One of the people we asked about these films said they were interesting and had a good storyline, which may mean the films included use the Uses & Gratifications which our Target Audience could relate to, and is why they like them so much.
Question 2: What do you think about our idea?
  • The people that we interviewed liked the fact that our idea touched upon the fact that the idea was exploring racism which is a very relevant topic in current society, and that it relates to what is going on in the world and happens in our country especially. They liked the fact the issues are very current and explore things that happen on a daily basis.
  • One person pointed out that our idea focused on only one type of racism, and only two cultures which clash, but my counter argument for that point is, it is easy to focus on all different types of racism, but if you over-complicate the story, it is easy to lose track of the actual idea we are trying to explore.
Question 3: Do you have any ideas for a film like listed before?
  • Our interviewees had many different ideas which were all very good as they were very creative.
  • One idea was about a boy from a wealthy family who gets involved into the wrong crowd, other ideas included touching upon themes like abusive and dangerous relationships and LGBT stimulus amongst a traditional Indian family. Which are all good ideas that would make good BSR films.

Question 4: What issues in films are underdeveloped?
  • Rape and Domestic, Self Harm, LGBT issues and FGM are issues that are all very real in society and what my interviewee''s found under developed. I think that directors and producers are almost scared and worried to create films which explore these themes and issues, because of the representation and getting the events which the film could entail, right. 
  • One interviewee suggested the more British Sink issues should be explored in the modern day, as the 1960's has faded out within the genre and the films have been more focused on violence, which is very 'over-done' within the genre.

Question 5: Is there a way in which you would like to see certain groups of people represented?
  • People and groups that our interviewees wanted a better representation of included: Muslims (in a non violent way), Women and their roles (from a Feminist perspective), disabled people, teenagers (non violent way and how they truly are), the Indian culture (not all of them are intelligent) and the black community.
