As part of my AS level Media course I have to produce a film, and further to this goal I have to perform market research in order to identify my audience. My film is supposed to be the introductory FMV sequence to a survival horror FPS. Given that if you're browsing this forum there's a pretty high chance you're a gamer, I thought this would be the perfect place to ask.

So, if you've got a minute, can any helpful souls PM me their answers to this questionnaire? Thanks a lot.
