Fascinating questionnaire on multiple aspects.
I am interested in seeing both the actual data results almost as much as the composition logic.
Will you be able to share your (team's) final conclusions from the data?
Did you compose this entirely yourself or as a team - or - was this a pre-designed series you chose?
I see that the uploader questionnaire program is university sponsored/hosted and I know universities and colleges promote/provide a rather "blunt edge of a sword" education.
But you do realize having the "NEXT" button justified left, rather than centered, skews your data to the left side of the screen?
People are exactly just that lazy; they won't even move the mouse to the far right if they can help it, but it is the easiest way to build the questionnaire online.
I like how the screens begin with four questions, narrow down to left-right, those become two aspect questions, then three aspect questions, then numerical values. Smart. People like a big ribbon on their finish lines!
I was wondering on the American/non-American director/producer questions how the logic went for a movie like
DAYBREAKERS where the film is directed by non-Americans, acted largely by non-Americans, film almost entirely outside of America - but deliberately made and voiced to appear to be in America?
I've run across several of these where foreign filmmakers deliberately create the film specifically for the largest global audience.
I don't know how I feel about this approach. On the one hand it makes pure business sense.
If the Chinese can print books in English to be sold in English speaking countries then why not this?
Film is a product, right?
It just seems rather... prostitutionist: I'll f#ck you, but only because your paying for it, not because I want to entertain you.
Also:
Is there a "time factor" assigned with the completion?
Partial give-ups or only completed questionnaires?
Stated preference (at beginning) compared to test preference (latter parts of the test)?
FWIW, personally...
1 - superlatives in print, ie "fascinating!" & "engrossing!", provide zero sway as any [expletive] idiot can be quoted out of context.
2 - I am often AWARE of recommendations by critics and aggregators BEFORE I choose a movie, but find them ultimately useless as critics love some sh!t films and loathe some really nice ones - but I am aware of them - so, I may be guilty of aligning myself with supporting critical views, but only as a very small influence.
3 - Although University of Strathclyde is Scottish (don't see too many film products originating from there), mostly we see English films (not even really UK films, I'd hazard) receiving distribution over here in the States. I find English humor, specifically, somewhat "odd" and a genuine preference deterrent. However, there are several very nice foreign films I enjoy, so I'm not a
completely prejudiced pig. Only somewhat.
GL & GB!
