Folks from the Uni of Waikato want to know YOUR opinion on BotFA! Can't Post

At the University of Waikato in New Zealand, a team of researchers are conducting a survey about audience reactions to The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Now's your chance to express all the things you loved or hated - to people who really want to know! Wink They say:

What did YOU think of the final Hobbit movie?


In this survey we are keen to hear people’s thoughts, responses and feelings about The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. We are seeking respondents with a wide range of perspectives – so whether you loved the film, were very disappointed by it, or had mixed feelings, we hope you will participate in the survey here:
http://flashq.rcc.ryerson.ca/Hobbit3/

Completing the survey will take around 30-45 minutes, or possibly longer if you have a lot to say, and involves a combination of sorting and ranking a selection of statements relating to the Battle of the Five Armies, as well as a more traditional questionnaire with click responses and a few open ended questions where you can tell us what you really think.


Please note that as this survey uses Flash it won’t work on Apple iPads, but may work on other older Android tablet devices. A laptop or desktop computer is ideal. The survey must be completed in one sitting.


Please do feel free to pass this invitation on to friends, family members, colleagues or students who may be interested in participating, especially if they have very different views about the film to your own! And if you are on Twitter, here is a shorter URL:

About us: We’re a team of academic researchers located at the University of Waikato (Hamilton, New Zealand) and Ryerson University (Toronto, Canada). We are interested in the nature of audience reception, and in understanding why different people often have very different views and understandings of the same film.


If you do decide to complete the survey, or want to learn more about the project before deciding, clicking
http://flashq.rcc.ryerson.ca/Hobbit3/ will take you to the formal consent agreement, which looks rather ominous but provides important details about the project and your rights as a research participant. The most important things to know are that your participation is entirely voluntary, your answers will remain anonymous, and you can say as much or as little as you wish. Thank you!

This survey is still open - thanks to those who have participated so far! [In reply to] Can't Post

I would like to sincerely thank all those ToRN members who have completed this survey so far - we really do appreciate you taking the time and effort to share your views.

The survey is still open and we are still looking for more respondents (we have around 650 to date, and would like to reach 1,000 if possible), so there is still time if you would like to be involved. http://flashq.rcc.ryerson.ca/Hobbit3/

Also, if you know of any others who may be interested in participating, please do feel free to pass the survey link on to them and to circulate the information through your own networks - we would be extremely grateful!

With thanks,
Carolyn Michelle
lead researcher, The Hobbit Audience Project
