What is the primary age demographic for these obscure genres of cinema?
What social Class best suits the Art-house/experimental cinema viewing habits? (check Reddit description for social class ranking explanations)
What is the primary Gender/sexuality of Art-house/Experiment cinema releases?
Here are the three main survey results I used for my Ideas Generation. This survey won't act as my final target audience research, only assisting me to better understand a watered-down audience profile for individuals I should be targeting. The survey was posted on a popular Sub-Reddit and has gathered a sizable amount of attention from many helpful individuals who took the time to answer each question. In the following weeks, I will be taking the time to produce a more detailed version of this survey that showcases a more concept-centred approach that allows me to build a more precise audience profile.
Basic Survey Results
Much of the answers I acquired were close to a near precision to what I had hypothesised to receive. I anticipated for an older audience of individuals to be more fond of the "intelectual" themes explored throughout these genres, something I found similar within the secondary research I cad conducted.
After having struggled with this type of question in previous surveys due to the participant's misunderstanding of how each ranking groups its audience, I was clever enough to include a ranking explanation to each social class in the Reddit post. What I found was that the so-called "elitist" reputation of these genres has provoked the survey participants to characterise much of their audiences in the higher classes, something I will comply with for now but will investigate in further detail throughout my next survey forms of research.
Once again, my form of primary research has clearly mirrored much of the other online studies I investigated on the target gender demographic for these genres. With its many progressive themes and non-gender related subject matters, It is clear to see how the audiences are so closely split.
