Questionnaire! :)

[MediaStudent]

Heyy, i'm doing A2 media & wondered if anyone would answer my questionnaire? :) thanks x



1. Do you feel that crime shows such as 'Crime Watch' are portrayed in such a way to give you a reason to fear crime in your every day life?


2. Do you prefer to watch fictional or factual crime shows? Which ones? Why?


3. Do you hear of much crime in the media? What crime do you hear of most?


4. Do you think that crime shows such as "The Bill", portray crime to be more common than it is in reality?


5. Do you think unrealistic crime films such as, 'Kill Bill' make the public more wary of crime than they should be?


6. Do you think watching crime shows/films makes the public more or less violent? Why?


7. Do you think there should be an age limit on children allowed to watch factual crime on TV? If so, what age should this be?


8. Is your attitude towards crime affected by how the media portrays crime?

HI...of course...

1. crimewatch does portray crime in a way that brings a little fear, but this os good rather than making it seem cool or hard and getsthe right impact withthe public and also draws upon public help
2. factual are always better because they are real and not exagerrated or over done plus they bring the public to see that it really does happen and to watchout...the fictional ones you just watch and know it is made up
3. media crime reports are steered by the press and politics and the theme of the week, month or year...mostly heard of are knife and youth violence at the moment
4. No I think the Bill doesn't portray reality or portray it to be more common to date people runaround with their eyes and ears closed and would not step up to help a felloow public member because it either doesn't enter into their head, they are scared or they do not know the person in trouble...poor poor society to date..no respect...no morals and loadsa values lost since the good ol' days of the english and eglish gentleman....no I am not old...33 to be exact and do not like the way society inthe Uk has 'developed or evolved'.
5. No they are just OTT and are pure entertainment if youcould name it that..the issue is that some people cannot watch it and take it for waht itis but then try to mimic it and copy it...society again, respect, up bringinng, knowing right from wrong
6. it should have no effect at all as everyone has their own brain and conscious to decide for themselves...the issue is the values are disappearing in the young and this is leading to copy cattingthe violence or crime
7. yes...there should still be an age limit that should be guaged by the graphical images and depth of textual or spoken description...and some things should just not be said . an exact age limit is dependant onthe theme and there is no cross the board age limit that you could set as such.
8. mine personally not really, my opinion is formed from my own thoughst and interpretations I am not led by the mediaand doubt a lot of what is written, if I rely on press etc then I take multiple sources and pull common info from these and hope that this is roughly correct to form my opinion.
