This is the questionnaire used to research into what children aged between 7 and 10 years old like about their favourite TV programs and characters. The children were interviewed with full parental consent and they were also present in each of the interviews. These interviews were extremely short and kept very simple. There were only a few questions that had to be asked in order to extract the essential data. Only 5 children were interviewed in total.

The most common feature that was identified in the interview about the villain characters was that they are mainly characters based in films or games that are based in the day when knights and kings were present. Most of the characters all display scary features that children would either dislike about them or features that would make children like them as villains such as their dress code, weapons etc. This features will be used to create and design my character on.
