Criterion Research Project
Hi, I'm a graduate student at the University of London and I'm working on a research project on boutique DVD labels. As part of that research I'm doing a survey on buying habits of Criterion collectors. I just have two questions. If any and everyone could respond that would be an amazing help to my project.
Question one: What are the last five Criterion discs (or boxsets) you have purchased?
Question two: How much prior knowledge had you for each title before you purchased it? Pick the answer which best fits.
A. I was very familiar with the title. I had already seen it either in the cinema or through some home viewing platform (i.e. earlier DVD, VHS, TV).
B. I had heard of the title, perhaps read about it, had been curious about it for some time, but had never seen it until purchasing the Criterion.
C. I only discovered the title once Criterion released it. It was based on the fact that they released it that I became aware of and interested in the title.
So for each title that you've listed could you put the corresponding letter from question 2 next to it.
Example:
Tokyo Story - A
Salo - B
Crumb - C
I think it will be very interesting to see the extent to which Criterion is giving audiences their first contact with many important films.
Thanks
