Feedback - From other Media Students

This is an exmple of some of the feedback we got from our fellow media students. We got more technical and precise feedback than some non media student feedback which is offen 'I like it' or I don't like it'.
- Too Loud
- Needs more Contrast
- Camera Treble is audible in outdoor shots
- Linger for longer on shot of wallet
- Take time off smoking section
- Remove some of the effects, i.e. the wiping eyes

Pictures

Hi guys
I finally put pics of us up. You can change them if you want but i think you both look lovely :)

Audience Screening: Feedback and Trends

When lookig at the answers from the questionairre we learnt a lot:
* When asked if the characters we introduced clearly most said yes, although they thought that Adam (post deliverer) and the mum could've been clearly. However we were not too worried by this comment as these are not central characters to our film.

* Almost everyone understood that the key themes were revenge, hatred, betrayl and friendship, and worte down at least one of these words.

* When asked what they like about the film, what worked best a trend developed that most people really liked the interesting shots, the change of perspective and the effects we used to give our film a unique style. We were really happy with this answer as these were the things that we felt made our film differnt, so it was great that people liked them.

**When asked what they thought didn't work as well, a few of them wrote down that they found the storyline a little confusing at first as it took them a while to get their head round it. They also said that the smoking bit could be shorter. Some people said they thought the lighting was a bit dark at times, however others wrote that they really liked the lighting as it added to the mood, feel and style of our film, which is what we were aiming for.

*We were very excited to find that the majority of people said that if we were to make the rest of the film they would want to watch it. However we did spot a trend here as well, it was that the few people who said they wouldn't were all boys. This confirms our thought that our film predominantly targets girls, they are our core audience, as they all said they would watch it. Boys of the same age are our secondary audience.

* Our average mark was 8/10, which we were very happy with. The scores ranged from 6/10 - 10/10!!!

*If we were going to do another screen we would want to get people of different ages to fill out the questionairre so that we can get a better view as to whether there are any trends in opinions relating to the age of the viewer, as pretty much everyone who filled out a questionairre was 16 or 17.

Audience Feedback

Although the feedback we got from our teachers and fellow media students was helpful, we needed some audience feedback of the finished product. Therefore we held a screening of our opening (and 'caught in the web' by Amelia, Holly and Laura)in the media block today at lunch. As the target audience for their opening and ours was people around our own age we asked all our friends to come and publicised it via facebook. Loads of people turned up and filled out a short questionairre for use so the feedback was ordered and we could see trends clearly.

Feedback

Just before finishing out film we had a feedback session with the other members of our media class. This was good as they were our target audience. They gave us useful feedback, but because they are media students they were picking up on all the technical things, rather than thinknig about whether they enjoyed it or not, whether it appealed to them and if they would want to watch the whole thing. We made the changes that our class and our teachers suggested, but we realised that we needed to get some real audience feedback from non media students so we could really get an opinion on our opening.

FINISHED!

Yesturday we finished our opening sequence - yay!
we are really pleased with it and definitely think all of our hard work payed off, as it looks great.
i think we're all going to miss editing a bit though :(
o well, onto the evaluation...
