This primary research here shows me asking the survey takers age as we were asking our target

audience for this radio production ages 16- 25 ( late teens - Young adults). This information makes
proves my results from participants will be reliable as shown above, the reason I believe they have
told the truth here is because I only asked people between the ages 16-25 to take part through
emailing my class and posting this survey on snap chat. I posted it on snap chat in particular as this is
the most used social media service for teens and I thought this would make my results more reliable
to viewers, as I would only be questioning my target audience, so there would be no anomalous
results.

From my results from question 2 asking Have you ever listened to a radio drama, I learnt that 11/17
(64.71%) had said "No" this is a problem for me as this means my feedback may not be as helpful/
constructive for me as intended as over half my participants have not listened to a radio drama, so
they will not know the codes/ conventions of what makes a good radio drama. This also proves that
radio is becoming outdated and the younger generation are not associating themselves with
broadcast media.
I learned from question 3 where I asked participants to name radio dramas they had listened to, I
learned from this that I should of been more obviously about what I was asking as many of the
participants who answered no, answered this question meaning I had fewer answers than I thought,
in the future I will make sure I do this to ensure I get constructive answers.

I also learned from my result the 6/17 who had listened to a radio drama either could not remember
for example "I haven't" whereas other who did remember answered with such things as “when I
lived in Peru". Another example of proof of this, such as “Welcome to nights vale, what's the
frequency and Greater bottom",” Cabin pressure and old Harry's game". This shows amongst my
data I will have some overall good constructive feedback as I have knowledgeable participants who
know the codes and conventions of radio drama's , as well as the genre's that interest them.

These results for question 4 where I asked participants what

platform they had listened to these radio dramas on. The results I gathered show what the majority
of people stream their radio dramas on as well as what the majority least listen to, for example the
higher majority said that they used Spotify to stream radio drama's as well as radio tie-ing having the
same overall majority of 4 votes each at 33.33%. The lowest majority as shown in the results was
Sound cloud which has 1 vote at 8.33%, this is the same case with Tuneln which has the same overall
results. My reasoning why I believe these results is because Spotify is the most used streaming
platform for music with its audience being both Adults and teens, as well as radio which used by
drivers every day, young and older. The reason I think Sound cloud and Tuneln is used the least is
because these are more underground streaming platforms that most of the younger generation may
have not heard of, or don't use as this platform is mostly known for its specific music genres they
represent e.g. rap and dance music.
I learned from question 5, where I asked if my participants would ever consider listening to a radio
drama. I learned from these results that over half of participants would not listen to a radio drama
for example 10/17 which is 58.82% overall. As this survey was aimed at the target audience 16-25
teens- young adults, I believe this could be due to them not having found one that suits their liking
or just this not being their interest. The participants that who said yes they would, overall was
7/17(41.18%).

I learned from this question, where I asked if participants preferred radio dramas to other forms of
media e.g. films. I learned that 100% overall 15 people did not prefer this form of media (radio
dramas). The reason I believe this is the case is because the younger generation (my target
audience) prefer to see what they can hear as oppose to listening, having to imagining the story
themselves to visualize it.
I learned from question 7 where I asked participants what is your favourite genre of radio dramas/
movie?. The reason I put radio drama/ movies is because the genres are the same and this would
help participants understand the question more. I found from these results that Comedy was the
majority for best genre with an overall percentage of 42.86% (6/17). This indicates to me that I
should try to incorporate a comedic sense into my production as this is what the people want. I
learned from my results that science fiction/ romance was the least popular genres with 1 vote each
and a overall of 7.14%. I think that I have this as an outcome as romance is often repetitive and
follows the same generic story line, I believe that science fiction is least favourite genre because this
is the most used genre and has a certain audience, I also believe this genre isn't popular because the
audience may want something different/new. I acknowledge this and will make sure when in
production to read back at my research to remind myself what our target audience want.
I learned from question 8 where I asked participants why this is your favourite genre. that people
enjoy a production that's funny and makes them feel good for example a majority of participants
previously chose comedy as their favourite genre they quoted why they admire this" it's funny and
makes me laugh" whilst others said " I like to laugh with friends" these results suggest that people
enjoy something they can laugh and listen to as a group or family, during pre - production I will make
sure to include an appropriate amount of comedy into my radio drama as it's what people want and
enjoy. 1 participant quoted "it's interesting and has sound effects" this suggest that I should ensure
that I include many good effective sound effects as this intrigues and keeps listeners attention.

I learned from question 9 where I asked participants Do you think this genre would suit a radio
drama?. I learned from my results that participants personally believe their genre would suit my
production in this case they personally believe comedy would suit my radio genre as it's the highest
majority. 56.25% of participants said yes here which 9/16 whilst No= 6.25% (1/16), maybe= 12.50%
(2/16) furthermore 4/16 replied "Don't know" (25.00%).
I learned from question 10 where I asked participants How long do you think a radio drama should
be?. I learned from these results not that much as a high majority of these results were
unfortunately not that constructive I have two reasons for this. Firstly I feel I should have worded
the question better as for this production our radio drama has to be 5 minutes long whereas a full
radio drama is 40- 1 hour 30 minutes long, in my survey I did not state this (which is my own
misdoing). This caused me to have results such as "20-40 minutes" and “1 hour" this is no one’s but
my own fault and in future I will be more careful in order to communicate the right thing to people.
Overall I had very few constructive results for this question but the ones I did get such as “4 - 8
minutes" were helpful as this allows me in the future when planning to sensibly construct a strong
narrative which would fit into this time span, in order to gain an overall good end product.
