Analysis Of My Polls.

Analysing my polls has provided me with a clear indication on what I need to include within both my final documentary and my ancillary texts in order to appeal to the majority of my audience. In addition it has shown me who my peers feel about university and how the increase in tuition fees has/hasn’t affected their decision.



Do you think the increase in University Fees is fair?

Only 17% of those who voted on my polls felt that the increase in tuition fees was fair leaving 79% strongly supporting them being unfair and only 1% being unsure of their views on the tuition fees.

Has the increase in tuition fees left you concerned about getting into university?

Shockingly 5% of those who took my online poll said that they wanted to go to university but now simply cannot afford it, this is a shocking statistics as it highlights just how seriously the increase in tuition fees is affecting students lives. However my poll does also illustrate how 32% answered that the increase in fees has not left them concerned about their place at university which provides a counter argument for my documentary.

What do you want within a documentary?

The two most popular responses on my polls in answer to what my target audience want within a documentary were 62% wanting a creative and informative approach in addition to 31% ideally wanting a straight forward and to the point approach. Therefore in response to my audience research I will attempt to find the perfect equilibrium between to two making a documentary that will hopefully appeal to the mass of my target audience.

Tuition Fees Questionniare Results

During my audience research I conducted a questionnaire based on the increase in tuition fees, before creating my production I received several startling facts about Students and their concerns about university due to the increase in tuition fees:


->67% felt that they would have taken a gap year if the fees were not to increase in 2012.

->13% said that the increase in fees did not effect the choice to continue to apply to university.

->89% of students said they were seriously concerned about the debt they will face after university.

As concerning as these facts are the most alarming one which I received was that:

->8% of my peers had decided not to go to university purely based on the issue of money.

From this I have learned that it is shocking just how much of an impact this is having on the young academics of our country and those with great potential such as that 8% are consequently loosing their futures.
