Audience Research 2: Questionnaire

Further Evaluation , As shown in the results above, there is a clear delineation of opinions; most people agree that reckless driving needs to be controlled in Qatar, especially in regards to stunt driving. Most people seem to go to the dunes near Sealine Resort to perform dangerous stunts while driving, likely because of the open space and quiet location.
With a fast-growing amount of responses we can ascertain with confidence that the majority of the audience believes the plot of a documentary is the absolute most important component of said documentary. We received over 70 responses in under 24 hours due to sending mass emails to other 6th Form students as well as all the teachers in the school, in an attempt to achieve a diverse age range. Therefore we have a large enough sample to draw conclusions from the results.
Most people attribute the rising and problematic prevalence of reckless stunt driving in Qatar due to boredom and lack of activities within the country. This is an interesting and insightful finding as it is not as obvious as other factors which have also been mentioned in the written responses - such as an abundance of wealth, possession of durable vehicles, space, lack of strict intervention from law enforcement, etc. It can definitely be argued that there are a lack of activities and things to do in Qatar, leading to boredom and frustration amongst youth - who are allegedly meant to be having 'the time of their lives', hindered by the fact that Qatar is a rather uneventful country. Combined with the fact that the desert country is quite humid and hot, this eliminates other options of sporting activities; after all, a car is well-conditioned meaning the sport can be done in tolerable weather.

Audience Research 1: Focus Group

Our focus group questions were asked to help provide us with extra information live and in person to specify what illegal drivers and non drivers think individually. The group and myself have sat down an illegal driver and a nn driver to see what their thoughts are on the video we had showed them and the questions we have provided them. We had a mixture of replies compared to the questionnaire that was sent out to all the students and teachers around our school.
