Calling all Cosplayers!
So, my friend is doing a study on cosplay for her university course and would be very grateful if people could take a few mintues to fill out her questionnaire/meme. This has been reposted and cross-posted on her behalf, so appologies if people see this multiple times.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Calling all Cosplayers! I'm currently doing an independent study on cosplaying in the west.
As part of this I'd be grateful if people could fill in this meme/questionnaire to give me some quantative data. Information that I use will be used as a mass and not individually, some of the aspects of the questions are just there for fun.
1) Okay, first up; tell us about yourself (age, sex and country would be very useful)
2) How many cosplays have you done and which characters?
3) What about cosplay appeals to you?
4) Do you make your own cosplays? What's your opinion on buying premade costumes to cosplay?
5) How do you decide which character to cosplay? What makes you want to cosplay a character?
6) Do you only cosplay characters that are related to Japanese culture (e.g. anime/manga, video games, idols, etc.)?
7) What do you think about original cosplays? So, cosplaying an original character/an original costume on an existing character/gender switch/original spin on a character.
8) Do you see role-playing or performing (not just as part of an Omake but throughout a convention) as part of cosplaying? If so, how important?
9) When/Where do you cosplay? (Do you only cosplay for conventions?)
10) Do you organise a photoshoot when you cosplay and how far do you take it?
If you’re happy to speak to me in more depth please contact me at j_mercuryuk@hotmail.co.uk
