Questionnaire for poster

Having gathered lots of secondary research ahead of creating my poster, I thought it would be useful to do some primary research to find out first hand what audiences would expect to find on a poster for a film from the melodrama genre.

below is my question questionnaire, which attempts to gather information about the type of image, colour scheme, setting certificate and even type of font and release date that audiences would accept for my kind of film. I will distribute my questionnaire only to fans of the melodrama genre (I will ask them if they have seen films from the genre such as The Vow and The Notebook before asking them to fill out the questionnaire).

The information I gather from this primary research will be incorporated with the conventions I have noticed form analysing posters from the genre, before I add these conventions to the poster I create. Once I have gathered the information, I will post my results.
