Feedback

As a group, we thought it would be a great idea to gather some feedback on our film opening from people around the age of our target audience (16/17), we saved a section of our film opening onto our phones and showed 20 people around are school. We made sure they were not media students and asked for their opinion on the opening.

The clip was 1.12 seconds long and we gave them earphones so they could hear the accompaniment.

Here is the feedback we received:

Gloria - Good build and great music

                                                                          Abdullah - Very weird but interesting

                  Jordan - I was glued to the screen throughout

Rola - This was so good, quite confusing as I didn't know what was going on but yeah it was good

                                                          Eman - Confusing but that's good as it's not too revealing

        Davelyn - Music is intense and as a whole it was scary

                Esther - Good and quite sinister

                                                                      Phoebe - Very good footage and music suits it really well

                               Lily - The make up was really good and so was the costume used

Georgia - I liked the fast editing, it was effective

    Miriam - Quite confusing - especially the shot of the wall at the beginning - but confusing is good

Megan - The acting is amazing!! It seems so professional

                                          Tori - Would be scarier if the girl died at the end, but it was intense

Alex - I would definitely go and watch that film in the cinema, it was very good, my kind of film

Lucy - It's intriguing, I like it just add hints to show what it's about

                                                                                 Alice - Very dark, right up my street!

Favour - Didn't really understand it but it was pretty cool, and freaky

Nicole - It should be longer, I need to see more of it!! I want to see the whole film

Rebecca - Storyline is not clear but that makes it more fun to watch, I like it

Yasmin - Was it about a crazy girl? a psychopath? not too sure but that was an interesting watch

Our Response

Once we gathered all the feedback on our film opening we decided to take another look at the aspects that the people we asked liked and disliked. We decided that as we asked non-media students, some of the comments were just personally preference. For example, with Tori's feedback we decided that if the girl was to die within the opening of the film then the plot for the rest of the film is not really clear. However, feedback such as Miriam's proved to be useful where she hinted that one of the shots at the beginning confused her, we look over that shot and decided that actually it didn't have a place there after all so we removed that particular shot.

From the feedback we received we realised that our storyline isn't made clear enough. This is something we will work on and improve.
