Primary Research

Primary research is research that you have conjured up with yourself. Primary research consists of interviews, which can either be face to face, via telephone, or via email; observations, which is basically observing other people make their videos; questionnaires, which is a great for acknowledging what you’re audience want is a trailer; surveys, which is very similar to questionnaires, however surveys are distributed through emails, the internet, or even by telephone, whereas questionnaires are distributed by paper, for example paper, magazines, or newspapers; focus groups, which are groups that focus on certain sections, for example the idea generation; audience panels, which are meetings with your audience and finding out personally, what they want in a game trailer; and self-generated research, which can consist of your own videos, audio, and photographs, for example our photographs and sketches of and from Conwy Castle.

For my primary research, my team went to Conwy Castle to do some location sketches and they took some photographs of the location and Conwy Castle itself. Unfortunally I couldn't attend to the Conwy Castle, because I was on attending business meeting in Orlando Florida, at Space Kennedy Centre, where I was undertaking research of NASA equipment, for another assignment.
