20) Do you think more men or women get Tattoos?
Men Women
As you can see, there were more males interviewed than females. This means that the outcome may be slightly one sided and more male based.
With question two we can see that many people believe that a biker is the most stereotypical type of person to get a tattoo. There is also the idea that many people believe that preppy people are not the type of people to get a tattoo. This means that we may have to interview people who look as if they have a tattoo or want to get a tattoo.
As you can see from the graph above, the people we interviewed mainly favoured the colour blue. This will be useful as we now know that if we put the colour orange, the least liked colour, as our background colour, then people will be less likely to watch it. They may also be less interested and switch off.
As there are only two choices for our opening song, you can see that it was not a good idea. However many people believed that Rudeboy was our audiences favourite. This is a good choice as it is upbeat and will keep people interested.
Our target audience prefer Channel 4 as it is controversial and is more related to what our audience wants. This is good as we would like our documentary to be broadcast on Channel 4 as it is different from the usual documentaries we see.
Our target audience prefer watching TV watching during the evening. This is when they get home from college/university and have time to ‘wind down’ and relax. This is not too good as we would like our documentary to be broadcast at 9 o clock which is later then their preferred time.
As you can see from the graph above, many of our audience prefer black style of tattoos. Because we aim to cover all aspects of tattooing, this is a good thing as we will be able to discuss this within an interview or voice over.
Many of our target audience would recommend a friend to get a tattoo. This will help us to find people with tattoos and show many different things on the subject itself.
Our audience believe that it is better for a man to narrate our documentary and not a woman. This is an insight into the world of tattoos as men are mostly associated to the world of tattoos. We can also use this to please the audience and find a man to be our narrator.
The majority of our target audience do not have tattoos. This shows that it very one sided as many people do not know what its like to get a tattoo. We now will be able to show the audience what its like to get a tattoo and allow them to make their own opinion.
This shows us that there is a preference to Travis McCoy and all his tattoos. This is good as we can use this in part of the voice over. Other people also prefer Cheryl Cole’s tattoos. This is good as it shows its not just men who get tattoos.
As we can see from this, many of our target audience would prefer to get a tattoo that is an image of some sorts. We can use this to our advantage and find statistics that will allow us to either prove this opinion true or show them otherwise.
Many people have decided that £20 is the average cost of a tattoo nowadays. There is also a large amount of people that don’t know. We can use this to our advantage and tell them in our voice over the actual average. I believe that you pay for what you get when it comes to tattoos as not all of them will cost the same.
From looking at this graph, we can see that many people know the actual answer. This is good as we may not have to explain this in our documentary. However it would be a good idea if we did to allow other people the knowledge of the legal age limit.
Our target audience believe that the most popular place to get a tattoo is the arm. We can use this in our documentary effectively and tell people the actual most popular place to get a tattoo.
Many people believe that tattoos have a certain meaning. We can find out on a certain person if each tattoo they have has a meaning and use this well in our documentary. We can also show if people just get tattoos because they like them.
This shows us that people believe that 15 – 20 tattoos is too many. To back this point up we can use vox pops and find out what the public feels about this subject. We can also as a tattoo artist and get their opinion.
This shows us that the majority of our target audience believe tattoos to be self harm. We can either prove or deny this point in not only vox pops but also when interviewing experts. It also shows us that many people believe tattoos to be bad.
This is an almost equal graph on whether the media puts a bad image on tattoos. This shows us that our audience is almost equally divided and we can use this to show the media effects. This will help us to enforce the balanced idea of the media.
This graph is very one sided and shows that out target audience believed that men were more likely to get a tattoo than women. We can use this to our advantage because we can find statistics on this. It is also a very stereotypical outcome, as in films and TV you always see very butch, tattooed men as villains.
