Thanks for filling this in.

This was the questionnaire that i made, this was handed out to 10 different people who individually answered the questions by circling or putting a tick next to their appropriate answers. i used this and tallied up the results and put them into charts on a separate document. I will use the information given  to help make my film and put in what people want to see in a RomCom.
