Feedback from Showcase Part 3

The final question on the feedback sheet, and probably the most important, in terms of ways in which we could improve our opening was
"Did you notice any serious issues such as continuity errors, strange edits - Did anything not make sense to you?"

• "Storyline was a tad confusing but knew roughly what was going on. Maybe sharpen some of the shots a bit."
• "Sound needs a bit of work. Didn't get the bit with the train."
• "Some bits are too dark, can't see as well."
• "Camera shots are slightly jumpy."

From this feedback we now know the things in our opening to go over. We will take these away and go through each one individually and discuss ways in which we can make these better for the audience.

The second question that was on the sheet that we gave out to our audience was

"Who do you think the target audience is?"

• "16+"
• "Mainstream"
• "People who like horror"
• "15+"

From these comments we can see we are doing well in terms of our target audience as two of the groups said similar age groups. And we wanted our film to be of the horror genre and this obviously came across well.

Feedback from Showcase

When we held the showcase where we showed our audience our Opening Sequence, we gave out sheets where we asked the audience to answer a few questions for us. I have taken a selection of the feedback sheets, so we can work as a group to improve our film and also get inspiration and confidence from the good comments.

The first question we asked was "What was especially good about the film?"

• "Really good editing- Red lipstick with black and white shot and good camera work and use of sound."
• "The camera work was really good. Good use of colour. Lighting was very good."
• "Never see the face till the end. Good shots of the knife. Shots of make-up and nail varnish at the start were really good."
• Lighting suits the genre. Good acting.
