Audience Feedback

At the beginning of this week, our groups were given feedback about the first draft of our film opening. Our audience gave us constructive feedback which we will use in order to make our film more successful. Some of the key ideas that we were given were:

• To make sure that our location shots (the tracking of the empty corridors) are longer - they seemed to flash and confuse the audience as opposed to set the scene of the school.
• To get rid of the mirror scene in which the protagonist talks to her self; the audience thought that it was too cheesy and took away from the suspence of the film - it looked comedic.
• To make sure that our titles match our film genre and plot - we didn't manage to finish editing those before we uploaded our rough cut.
• To overlay the sound throughout the clip - the sudden stop of the soundtrack makes the film look choppy.
• To overlay the sound at the end of the film (when the title is displayed) - the soundtrack isn't merged and appears choppy.
• To make sure that we include our distributors and production companies - we were lacking those, resulting in an unprofessional clip.
• To work on the typography of the title - the bright red font of the title makes it stand out too much and makes the film seem childish.

 

Overall, we received mostly positive feedback, however we found that the constructive criticism will help us in order to make the film more successful.
