Entry Nine: Audience Feedback

In our screening, we gave out a questionnaire sheet to the audience to fill out for feedback. We asked:

Was the genre clear and were there obvious conventions used to show it?
Did the narrative intrigue you and would make want to continue watching?
What did you like the most about the opening?
What did you like the least?
What could we do to make the opening better?

After our audience screening, we received a mixture of feedback. Most of our audience said that they were not sure what our genre was, so we now know that we need to make sure that our genre is clear to the audience.

However, the majority of people liked the opening and did want to continue watching the film, they also liked the variety of camera shots used. We were also told by the audience that they thought the music fit in with the film.

The feedback we got back on what they liked the least. The lighting for the tracking shot of the shoes was dark and needs to be made brighter. Also, the scene where the character is arranging her makeup went on a bit too long so we have to make that shorter. A few didn't like the shot of the stairs as the camera was wobbly.

To improve on our opening, we need to remove the Cast heading as a part of our credits and need to make sure all the credits are in synch. Our title of the film, IMHO (In my Humble Opinion) people thought it looked more like a logo than the title. We also need to add in the rain music into the shot of the puddle.
