How old are you?
From the survey I found out that are target
audience will be mainly teenagers as the most
common age was 16 years old. This means we
will be broadcasting the documentary onto an
“on the demand” app as young people use these
services more than regular terrestrial channels.
Using an online “on demand” app also means
that the documentary will be available all the
time so the viewer can choose a time in which
they will watch it.

3. 2.Do you watch any documentaries?

Do you watch documentaries ?
When it came to this question I found
that the majority of the people we
interviewed do watch documentaries
which is good as it means our
documentary will be successful as the
majority of our target audience do
watch documentaries.

4. 3.If so, what genre of documentary do you
watch ?
 Sport: 2 people
 Nature: 6 people
 Crime: 4 people
 Food: 1 person
 Murder: 4 people
 Science: 4 people

Sport Nature Crime Food Murder Science
After finding out that only 2 people out of the people we
interviewed watch sport documentaries we decided to
incorporate food, science and technology with regards to
running to increase our viewing audience. This will also
make the documentary more interesting.

5. 4.How many times a month would say you watch
documentaries?
 Never: 6 people
 Once a week: 13 people
 More than once a week: 5 people

Never Once a week More than once a week
The results of this question is helpful as it allows us to
understand how many times a month our target audience
will watch documentaries. The most popular answer was
“once a week” and also 5 people said they watch
documentaries more than once a week which is good for us
as it means the target audience will be interested and
inclined to view it.

6. 5. Do you tend to seek out documentaries by watching them on
“on demand streaming services” such as YouTube and Netflix or
are you likely to watch them on TV?
 On demand: 16 people

Method of watching documentaries
This question was useful as it helped us
decide that we will make a documentary
that will be broadcasted onto an “on
demand” service as this is the way the
majority of target audience view
documentaries. This is mainly because
teenagers (our target audience) are
constantly on their phones and the internet
along with their busy means that having a
service that allows them to choose a
program at any time and view it is extremely
convenient for them.

7. 6. If you do watch them on TV which channels in your opinion have
documentaries that interest you the most?

How long have you been running?
under 3 years 3 years 4 and above years
When it came to this question the answer was predicted
as our target audience is teenagers so it was expected
that they had not been running for more than 3 years.
However this is good as it means that our documentary
will be more interesting to them as they will be able to
gain knowledge and learn things they didn't already
know from it.

9. 8. How did you become interested in
running?
 Olympics: 4 people
 Family Friends: 4 people

How did you become interested in
running?
Knowing how people became interested in running will
help us to understand how the majority of our target
audience got interested in running. It turned out being a
tie between the “Olympics” and “family friends” when it
came to how the majority of our target audience became
interested in running.

How many marathons have you ran
before?
Knowing how many marathons the target audience
has run will allow us to understand how serious our
target audience are and what their skill level is so we
can make the documentary to tailor to the ability of
our target audience. The most popular answer from
our target audience was that they have run 1
marathon which is a big achievement for a teenager
as they will have to balance training around their
education .

11. 10. What influenced you to participate in
marathons?

 Olympics: 3 people
 N/A: 20 people

This information will enable us to find out what
influenced them to participate in marathons so
we know how our target audience got interested
in running and then we can include this into our
documentary explaining the most popular ways
teenagers get into running. The majority of our
target audience were influenced to run in a
marathon by the Olympics which isn't surprising
as it is one of the most viewed sporting events in
history.

12. 11. How man hours a week do you spend
training for the marathon?
 1-5 hours: 14 people
 6-10 hours: 6 people
 10+ hours: 2 people

Personal achievment 1-5 hours 6-10 hours
Knowing the training time of our target audience will also
allow us understand the level in which our audience trains.
Knowing this will help us decide on what information
about training and the depth of training we need to
include in our documentary. The main training time for
our target audience was 1-5 hours a week which isn't
surprising as they have school 5 days a week and this is
something they have to balance their training around.

13. 12. How many weeks will you be training
for the marathon?
 0 weeks: 17 people

Knowing the training time of our target audience will
also allow us understand the level in which our
audience trains. Knowing this will help us decide on
what information about training and the depth of
training we need to include in our documentary. The
majority of the target audience train for 5 weeks in
preparation of the marathon which again is expected
with the age of our target audience as they are only
teenagers and will not spend months training to
beat a record time during the marathon.

Do you find balancing

When it came to this set of answers it was
surprising as the majority of people
interviewed said they didn’t find balancing
work/education with training hard. This was
the opposite to what I would have predicted as
the main age group was 16-17 when students
will be doing a levels and that proposes a lot of
work and revision so finding time to train
would be hard however the target audience
manage to fit in training which shows how
dedicated they are to running.

15. 14.When it comes to equipment what needs to be done to ensure
all your equipment is ready for the marathon (do you need to
purchase new equipment especially for the marathon) ?

Yes No
When it comes to this question the majority of people said
they did not need to purchase new equipment especially
for the marathon therefore we do not need to cover new
equipment as much in the documentary as the people that
will view the documentary are not that concerned by
frequently replacing equipment.

16. 15.When it comes to the physical side of training for a
marathon what other activities do you engage in other
than running?
 Swimming: 5 people

 None 8 people

Swimming Dance Gym Other None
This question helped us understand what other physical
activities our target audience engage in other than
running. Swimming was the most popular specified
answer and this might be as it is an activity that uses the
whole body, legs, arms and core which will also build
endurance something that is key for running. Also
knowing this information might make us decide to add a
section into the documentary about other physical
activities to do in order to benefit endurance for running.

Any diet changes you will make in

The purpose of this question was to find out if the
target audience believed in changing their diet in
preparation of a marathon or a big run so we would
know what to include into the food section of the
documentary. The majority of the people questioned
(15 individuals) said that they would not change their
diet in preparation of a marathon or a big run which is
again is expected as the target audience are young
adults so they are not expected to be nutritional
experts.

When we interviewed people asking them if they would be
interested in running a marathon it was close with 2 more
people saying they would not be interested in running one
however this is not surprising as we interviewed teenagers
who mainly just run to stay fit and running 26 miles in one
go would not appeal to them.

runners can be interesting?

understand how interested in running
they are and the majority of them said
they would be interested in running a
marathon so they should find our
documentary very interesting and
helpful.

This question helps us understand if the
people interviewed believe that specialised
“health food” is necessary for running or
other endurance sports. The majority of
people said yes and this helps us decide if
we will include a section on specialised
foods into the documentary to give tips and
tricks when it comes to the food/diet side
of running.

23. 22. How much money per month do you spend
on fitness related items or healthy eating?
 £0-25: 12 people
 £25-50: 3 people

Money spent on equipment and healthy

£0-25 £25-50 £50-75 £75-100 over £100
This was one of the most important questions
when it came to the questionnaire as it enables
us to see the price range in which our target
audience are willing to spend on fitness
related items and healthy eating. The majority
of people said 0-25 pounds a month which is
not a lot so in the documentary we may
include a section on the best affordable
running equipment and how to save money on
healthy eating.

24. 23. Do you think eating healthy is more
expensive than a “normal” diet?
 Yes: 20 people

Is eating healthily more expensive?
Yes No
This question and the results were rather obvious as
it is well known that people believe healthy eating is
more expensive than what is considered a normal
diet. However research has shown that in fact it can
actually be the same price to eat healthy and this is
something that could be included in the
documentary to inform young people on how easy
and cheap it actually is to eat healthy.

25. 24. How many times a month do you
eat junk food?

How many times a month do you eat
junk food?
when carrying out this question we found out
that junk food is consumed by the people we
interviewed mainly too much which could
have serious risks on the body and this is
something that will be in the documentary to
inform teenagers about the effects of junk
and fast food on their body if it is consumed
too often.

26. 25. How many of your five a day do you

that we interviewed managed to get all of
their 5 a day which is a good statistic
however it contrasts with the previous
question where the consumption of junk
food was often so in the section of the
documentary including food we should
include a section on balanced diets and
how it is good to have everything in
moderation.

27. 26. Do you have any specific dietary

did change their diet before a big run and these are the people who
are the most serious about the sport.

experts however in the
documentary the food section will
be created to inform and educate
youngsters on the benefits of a
healthy diet and how it can
mentally an physically impact them
and this is the purpose of the
documentary; informing young
people.

Do you have a “cheat day” and if so
how often?
Yes No 1 day 3 days 5 days 10+ days
The most popular answer for this question was that the
target audience had 3 cheat days a month which isn't
something to be too worried about because as long as they
eat relatively for the rest of the time 3 cheat days wont affect
their fitness too much. It is important to remember that
everything in moderation is good as it is important to eat
healthily but it is also key to treat yourself.
