Audience feedback

Feedback of opening two minutes

As we put the finishing touches of editing and titles to our production, we had to gain feedback from our audience, so we would know what we have to improve on and how we will ensure this. This type of feedback is vital for film directors as it tells them if they met the audience demands, which our film hopefully does due to our target audience research we completed before establishing and finalising our film. It is also important as it gives the film makers an idea of how well the film will do, in terms of economics of profits and box offices hits. Our feedback for our film was very positive and encouraging as we had minor corrections and improvements to consider about. We found out that the audience liked the characters who were present in the opening minutes as they conformed to the stereotypical horror film of having an innocent girl as the antagonist. They also liked how the use of camerawork created the effect of someone following the young girl, as it creates enigmas and makes the audience scared as they don't what will happen. Another piece of feedback was that the background soundtrack of non diegetic and diegetic and the use of close up shots created suspense and tension. Using the underwater camera was said to be very effective, as it was a new unusual way of filming, which made them more intrigued. They thought it was very effective on the choice of location as having it set within a household, makes the film more relatable, as they feel as though this could happen to them. The only piece of criticism we gained from our target audience was that the use of the non diegetic sound of the bang, which was made by us slamming the keys of a piano. They said that the slam was ever so slightly out of sync, which may make the continuity of the film a little interrupted. This may be out of sync as we produced all the music by ourselves, which made it hard trying to organise and sync all the music up together. However to improve our film we would sync this non diegetic music so it gives our film the best potential it has against competing films.
