In an analysis of our potential audience we must first establish how short films are distributed and seen by others. Our theory is that short films are rarely watched by anyone other than those with a vested interest in film to begin with, and that the general public will largely not be interested in viewing short films on television due to a lack of production values and the often “arty” themes they are perceived as having.
Have you ever watched a short film outside of school?
If so, what genre or subgenre would it be a part of?
What format did you watch the film in? Please circle.
Youtube, Vimeo, Myspace etc
Dedicated film website (Indy Mogul, FutureShorts etc)
TV (BBC, C4, Sky Indie)
DVD, Blu-Ray
Gallery/Cinema
Other (please specify) ________________
If not, would you have an interest in seeing one?
Would you watch short films if they were broadcast on mainstream television channels?
If not, is this due to your own perception of the “message” of short films?
Do you think short films are an effective medium of film?
Would you watch a short film in the following genres?
Action/Adventure
Comedy

Do you view the target audience of short films as outside of the mainstream?
Are short films a good medium in which to portray real life situations and events due to their ease of production and length?
