For this I went to Croydon and gave out some of these questionnaires to passers by. For this I made sure that I handed out equal amounts to women as to men, and found that many filmgoers were between 21-30. I also found out that comedies and action films were most popular between the groups. This was because some of the people enjoyed the adrenaline rush of action films, whereas others like to feel more relaxed and have a laugh when they go to see comedy films. Out of the 10 questionnaires I gave out 6 went to the cinemas, but only went with 1-2 times a month. Also 3 of the people I asked admitted that they downloaded movies, but others rented them or bought them.
