Below are the two questionnaires that I plan on sending to my target audience once I gain approval from the ethics board. These questionnaires will be sent along with the animations so that the children can watch the animations first, and the provide me with some insight into what they thought of my project. I have designed these questionnaires to be as professional as possible while also still being child friendly due to my target audience being between 7 and 11 years old. I have added a little colour to the document so that it seems less intimidating to the children and also worded the questions in a way that I hope the age group will be able to understand.
Questionnaire One
The first questionnaire is for me to gain insight into what my target audience think of the design and style of my animations. I plan on sending a short clip of my character performing a simple animation so that I may understand whether of not the design and style I am working in is engaging for my target audience. From my target audiences responses I will be able to adapt the design of my work accordingly so that I am able to create a successful animations that my target audience will like to watch.
Questionnaire Two
This is the second questionnaire that I plan on sending to my target audience after the completion of my animations. Just like with the first questionnaire, I plan on sending this one along with my finished animations so that I can see what my target audience thought of the final project and if they learnt what mental health is from them. My main goals within this project was to educate younger children on what mental health is and present the information in a friendly and approachable way for children, and this feedback will allow me to understand if I succeeded within these goals or not.
Having completed these questionnaires I will have to wait to see if I gain ethics approvals before I can go any further with this research. While waiting I will continue to work on the development of my animations ready to be able to send off to gain feedback on them once the ethics approval comes through.
